Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Tough Enough lyrics

Lomhlaba unzima, lomhlaba [this world is a harsh place, this world] Picture the end of a cycle Here's the fire from heaven There's a tired planeet closing down No more news at eleven Somewhere the last of a species has died Somewhere a child is born When I hold you, I tremble inside Can we ride out the storm? Are you tough enough -- can you take the strain? Are you tough enough -- to walk in the burning rain Are you tough enough -- can you take the change? Are you tough enough -- baby just say! Chorus: Into the heart of the human dream Into a strange new world Remember me under the tree of man Where I first heard your words Gonna make it through, I can feel it What we need is a miracle What we need is some time What we need is an angel of mercy In this life Are you tough enough -- can you take the heat? Are you tough enough -- to walk in the burning street Are you tough enough -- can you take the change Are you tough enough -- baby just say! Chorus... There's your mama and your papa Waving good-bye in the cold moonlight In their eyes the confusion of a world gone by And you hold me tightly as we step out Into the morning light And I know you are thinking that for something to be born Somthing has to die. Chorus... Vele vele we mama kunjalo [it is true, it's obvious. mama, it is just as you say].
