Shadows fill an empty moyo
As upendo is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways wewe made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
upendo will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our upendo never went away?
What if it's Lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken moyo can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am kwa your side,
Where upendo will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's Lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

She belongs to fairy tales that I could never be
The future haunts with memories that I could never have
And hope is just a stranger wondering how it got so bad
I die each time wewe look away
My heart, my life will never be the same
This upendo will take my everything
One breath, one touch will be the end of me
wewe could be the final straw that brings me back to earth
Ever-waiting airports full of the upendo that wewe deserve
Wishing I could find a way to wash away the past
Knowing that my moyo
Will break, but at least the pain will last
I die each time wewe look away
My heart, my life will never be the same
This upendo will take my everything
One breath, one touch will be the end of me
Emily will find a better place to fall asleep
Maybe she will save me in the oceans of her dream
And maybe someday upendo
Maybe someday upendo
Maybe someday love
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to songesha a thing
It might change my memory
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
I don't want to call my Marafiki
They might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this kitanda
Risk forgetting all that's been
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
There's no place for us.
What is this thing that builds Our dreams yet slips away From us.
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Ohh.
There's no chance for us.
Its all decided for us.
This world has only one sweet Moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
OHHHHH
Who dares upendo forever
Ohhhhhhhhh!
When upendo must die.
Then touch my tears with your Lips
Touch my world with your Finger tips
And we can have forever
And we can love! forever
Forever! is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Forever is our today
Who waits forever any way
