The city sleeps
So silently
Wish I could say the same for me
But I've got this dead ended street
To keep searching
For a tunnel underneath the uchungu, chungu truth
au a bridge invisible I won't fall through
And I don't know how much I can keep
Letting wewe unravel me
'Cause the zaidi wewe learn the zaidi we share
We were worlds apart and wewe see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair
I never meant
Most of those pretty words I said
But I wanted wewe to think I did
'Cause telling wewe all this makes no difference
It's useless
'Cause those who get to know our hearts the most
They always seem to be the ones we'll never hold
Chorus
Can't wewe see it's destroying me?
I can't stand the closeness
But don't wewe dare go avoiding me
It kills me and yet it keeps me going

Chorus
well im going
downhearted and hoping
im close
to some new beginning
i know
theres a reason for everything
that comes and goes
[chorus:]
but so many people are looking to me
to be strong and to fight
but im just surviving
and i may be weak but im never defeated
and ill keep believing
in clouds with that sweet silver lining
most days
i try
my best to put on a brave face
but inside
my Bones are cold and my moyo brakes
but all the while
somethings keeping me safe
and alive
[chorus]
and i wont give up like this
i will be aliyopewa strength
now that ive found it
nothing can take that away
[chorus x2]

Ignorance is bliss
You'd always hear me say
But at times wewe can't deny
Those eyes looking your way
Let me begin kwa saying what I mean
It's a crime against the moyo wewe know
To be somewhere in between
Well don't be shy
I've got an open moyo and hand
And I just might have to confess just where I stand
Lately wewe make me weaker in the knees
And race through my veins baby every time you're close to me
Take me away to places I ain't seen
They say you've got a hold on me:
And I won't disagree
Rock-a-bye my baby
Don't be blue tonight
Oh I'm on my way
And I'm gonna make it right
Cause I've got the feeling
You'll be needing love
And of all the lonely hearts
You're the one I'm thinking of
I've been told it's gonna take an iron hand
To break the mold and stand above all of the rest
[Chorus]
I'll be thinking of that evening
When there's nothing for me to do
And I'll be wondering if kwa some slim chance
You've been wondering too
[Chorus]
