Long live the king...

upendo was taken from a young life
And no one told her why

Her direction has a dimlight
From one zaidi violent crime
She innocently questioned why
Why her father had to die

She asked the men in blue
How is it that wewe get to choose
Who will live and who will die
Did god say that wewe could decide ?

You saw he didn't run
And then my daddy had no gun

In the middle of a village
Way in a distant land
Lies a poor boy with his broken toy
Too young to understand

He's awaken, ground is shaking
His father grabs his hand
Screaming crying, his wife's dying
Now he's left to explain

He innocently questioned why
Why his mother had...

No sense pretending it´s over
Hard times just don´t go away
You gotta take that chip off your shoulder
it´s time wewe open up
Have some faith

Nothing good ever comes easy
All good things come in due time
Yes it does
You gotta have something to believe in
I´m telling wewe to open mind

Gotta put your moyo on the line
If wewe wanna make it right
you´ve got to reach out and try
Gotta put your moyo on the line
If wewe wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line

You see yourself in the mirror
And wewe don´t like what wewe see
And things aren't getting much clearer
don´t wewe think it´s time...

What zaidi Can I Give lyrics

How many people will have to die before we will take a stand
How many children will have to cry, before we do all we can
If sending your upendo is all wewe can give
To help one live, mmm

How many times can we turn our heads
And pretend we cannot see
Healing the wounds of our broken earth
We are one global family
Just sending your prayers
Is something wewe feel
Helping one heal
What have I got that I can give
(What have I got that I can give, tell me)
What have I got that I can give, yeah, oh
To upendo and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What zaidi can I give (what zaidi can I give,...

All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for wewe to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend

When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells wewe never be afraid
Then somewhere in your moyo wewe can feel the glow
A light to keep wewe warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you

Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My nyota secret friend and me

When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark...
