Xavier Naidoo - I'd Be Waiting lyrics

rate me

Ref. I'd be waiting- waiting for a lifetime I'm sure<br />

I'd be waiting- waiting for a lifetime and more<br />

If that serious alliance lies ahead<br />

Let every necessary word be said<br />

Remembering the blood that we've shed<br />

Keep it mind that there are things we must forget<br />

Beware of tragedy left right and center<br />

Don't allow hell on earth to enter<br />

Get rid off all the damage in your head<br />

Remember there's an enemy in your bed<br />

The jokes on me for sure<br />

But then wishes and hopes come true for sure<br />

It's you for sure, out of the blue for sure<br />

It's you for your past rich and poor towards<br />

That hard encore<br />

I've walked on the african sands like the kosan<br />

The original man from lands sacred<br />

Battled zulu tribes for the passion of word play and swam<br />

The zambezi butt naked<br />

Seen the sun rise in the east and set in the west<br />

Plotted stars charts and directions for god to manifest<br />

From the peaks of the pyramids i left tags in dark gaves<br />

That gave humanity clues on how to star gaze<br />

I've seen a snake she'd it's skin like the seasons and change<br />

I've seen world rearange in a flash<br />

Now for this cash they rape our lands strictly for wealth<br />

It's left me stranded in a spiritual realm all by myself<br />

Headed to mecca i stopped and spoke swahm with tribes<br />

Chanted native dialects over the hill i felt vibes<br />

Threw my hands in the sky then beat them hard on a<br />

Drum over the horizon i waited for freedom to come<br />

But the ships just keep sailing and whips just keep cracking<br />

I wonder where i am so i begin back tracking through the<br />

Solomonic dynasty i read the kebra tr took mt swift<br />

Across the mains like i was riding on a zebra the ashante<br />

Draped me in robes or royalty the shona tribe blessed me-acapo
