Dela [Live at Nelson Mandela Theatre]

One day I looked up and there you were
Like a simple question looking for an answer
Now I am like the whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shore

What if I don't find you when I have landed
Won't you leave me here to die on your shore stranded
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I sing, Dela, dela ngyanya dela I burn for you
Dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for redemption
I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you

A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
The image of your face comes to me when I am alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you

I think I know, I think I know, I think I know, I think I know
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I sing Dela, dela ngyanya dela, I burn for you
Dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for redemption
I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you

Yes I burn for you
Yes I, Dela, I burn for you

We sing Dela, dela ngyanya dela, I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
I've been waiting for you all my life, you know I'm waiting for redemption
I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you

Burn for you, I burn for you ( All my life, day and night )
Burn for you, I burn for you ( All my life, you know I burn for you )
Burn for you, I burn for you ( All my life, day and night )
Burn for you, I burn for you ( You know I, I burn for you )
I burn for you, I burn for you
I burn for you too, I burn for you

And for you and for you, you and for you,
You and for you, you and for you
You and for you, you and for you
You and for you and for you and for you

Dela, dela, dela, I burn for you
Dela, dela, sondela, I burn for you
