Scatterlings and fugitives
Hooded eyes and weary brows
Seek refuge in the night
They are the scatterlings of africa
- LyricsOne day I looked up and there you stood
Like a simple question looking for an answer
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores
But what if I don't find when I have landed

- LyricsThe world is full of strange behaviour
Every man has to be his own saviour
I know I can make it on my own if I try
But I'm searching for a Great Heart to stand me by
Underneath the African sky
- LyricsHawu! Bheka Mama! Oye!
Hamb'ugadile! (be alert and be on guard)
I feel a river in flood in my veins
I can feel your love in my brain
It wants to dance my life
