Put your head against my life,
What do wewe hear?
A million words just trying to make the upendo song of the year
Close your eyes, but don't forget,
What wewe have heard
A man who's trying to say three words,
Words that make wewe scared.
(Chorus)
A million upendo songs later,
And here I am trying to tell wewe that I can
A million upendo songs later, and here I am, here I am
A million upendo songs later, and here I am.
Look into the future now,
this is what I see,
A million chances pass me by
A million chances to hold you
Take me back, take me back,
To where I used to be
Hide away from all my truths
Through the light I see.
(Chorus)
A million upendo songs later,
And here I am trying to tell wewe that I can
A million upendo songs later, and here I am,
Just for jou girl
A million upendo songs later, here I am.
Feel for wewe babe, feel for wewe baby
What do wewe hear?
A million words just trying to make the upendo song of the year
Close your eyes, but don't forget,
What wewe have heard
A man who's trying to say three words,
Words that make wewe scared.
(Chorus)
A million upendo songs later,
And here I am trying to tell wewe that I can
A million upendo songs later, and here I am, here I am
A million upendo songs later, and here I am.
Look into the future now,
this is what I see,
A million chances pass me by
A million chances to hold you
Take me back, take me back,
To where I used to be
Hide away from all my truths
Through the light I see.
(Chorus)
A million upendo songs later,
And here I am trying to tell wewe that I can
A million upendo songs later, and here I am,
Just for jou girl
A million upendo songs later, here I am.
Feel for wewe babe, feel for wewe baby
heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but wewe don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah
hallelujah...
well your faith was strong but wewe needed proof
wewe saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied wewe to her jikoni chair
she broke your kiti cha enzi and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
hallelujah...
baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but upendo is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...
that david played and it pleased the lord
but wewe don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah
hallelujah...

wewe saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied wewe to her jikoni chair
she broke your kiti cha enzi and she cut your hair

hallelujah...
baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
