Chorus: (x2)
It's been a while travelling
Crossing rivers
Our strength won't end
We will never take their word
Verse 1:
There are hard times, full of problems
Life being tough, seems like it will never change
When you look this side, it's the same as that side
You can't move, like you are surrounded by mud
Feeling like you’re in prison, and your sentence waiting
You'll pass that, before end of time
When troubles doesn't fade, you must kneel and pray
You don't need education then, use your brain
Bridge:
First know this, be brave ask the elders
Before you commit suicide, maybe you need a ritual
Chorus:
It's been a while travelling
Crossing rivers
Our strength won't end
We will never take their word
Verse 2:
Even Madiba knows, how life is
Why you stubborn, ask the elders
Work is scarce, wake up and plant potatoes
Don't worry about the one watching you, they have not finish their problems
Even in poverty, when ends don't meet
Life full of struggles, don't leave God
Critics don't stop, they are all over the place
Satan won't stop so fight till the dawn
Bridge:
First know this, be brave ask the elders
Before you commit suicide, maybe you need a ritual
Chorus:
It's been a while travelling
Crossing rivers
Our strength won't end
We will never take their word

Chorus X2
Kudala sihambaa.(duru-tutudu)
Siwel'imilambo .(duru-tutudu)
Asiphel'amandla.(duru-tutudu)
Asoze sive ngabo.(duru-tutudu)
1st verse:
Kunamaxesha anzima,kugcwel'inkinga.
Ubomi bumfiliba,ngathi abuzojika.
Xa ubheka ngapha-kufana nangapha.
Ùngakwazi ukuhamba ujikelezwe ludaka.
Uziva ngathi usejele,isigwebo sikumele.
Uzodlula kulonyewe,kungekabuyi noNxele.
Xa zingaphel'izimoko,uzuguqe ngedolo
Awuding'iskolo sebenzis'intloko.
Bridge
Uzuqal'uqooonde,
uqiq'ubuz'inkooonde
Phambi kokub'uzigobe,
mhlambi ushota ngebhokhwe.
Thina...
Chorus
Diba nalo layazi, ukuthi ubomi bunjani.
Kutheni ngathi unenkani, awufuni buza lenyathi.
Umsebenzi unqabile, khavuk'ulim'iitapile.
Uyazihlupha okujongile, ingaba ezakhe uzigqibile.
Nob'ilele eziko, azihlangani izinto
Bomi bugcwel'inzingo, ungamlahl'uThixo.
Abagxeki abapheli, bagcwele konke ezweni.
Sathana naye akaphezi ilwa kuse ekuseni.
Bridge again
Chorus till the end
