sleep
hear your heartbeat
beat a frantic pace
and it's not even seven am
you're feeling the rush of anguish settlin’
wewe cannot help showin’ them in
so hurry up then
au you'll fall behind and
they will take control of wewe
and wewe need to heal the hurt behind your eyes
fickle words crowdin’ your mind
so
sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
like waves of sweet fire, you're salama within
sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushin’ in
and carry wewe over to a new mornin’
try as wewe might
wewe try to give it up
seems to be holdin’ on fast
its hand in your hand
a shadow over wewe
a beggar for soul in your face
still it don't matter
if wewe won't listen
if wewe won't let them follow wewe
wewe just need to heal
make good all your lies
songesha on and don't look behind
so
sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
like waves of sweet fire,
you're salama within
sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushin’ in
and carry wewe over
to a new mornin’
siku after siku
fickle visions
messin’ with your head
fickle, vicious
sleepin’ in your kitanda
messin’ with your head
fickle visions
fickle, vicious
sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
like waves of sweet fire,
you're salama within
sleep, sweetie,
let your floods come rushin’ in
and carry wewe over to a new mornin’

Signs of Life – 2005
Ye, Lord let the fragrance of flowers
Mix in blowing breeze
Make the shade of trees even baridi
To give traveler much zaidi peace
Let the trees go even wider and taller
To save the earth from burning heat
Make the smell of soil so sweet
That the countrymen live to die for their country
Let the sun shine even brightly
To make mahindi, nafaka fields look like gold
Lord make the sky even wider
To save us from every harm
Let the moonlight spread around
Let the beauty make us a bit warm
Oh Lord above all, Give us a willing moyo
Lord, let us be your part….. your part
Mix in blowing breeze
Make the shade of trees even baridi
To give traveler much zaidi peace
Let the trees go even wider and taller
To save the earth from burning heat
Make the smell of soil so sweet
That the countrymen live to die for their country
Let the sun shine even brightly
To make mahindi, nafaka fields look like gold
Lord make the sky even wider
To save us from every harm
Let the moonlight spread around
Let the beauty make us a bit warm
Oh Lord above all, Give us a willing moyo
Lord, let us be your part….. your part
