A Clean Pair Of Eyes Lyrics
Hear me god, I'm on a level Mapping silence, spitting skin Crying, laughing like the devil Before the might of all that is seen I raise my head and wake to dream With a clean pair of eyes Murdered gold and colors splashing Down li

Asimbonanga
===========
by J. Clegg, sung by Joan Baez on her CD "Recently"
Chorus: A si m'bonanga
A si m'bonanga u Mandela thina
Lapha ekhona
Lapha ehleli khona
Oh the sea is cold and the sky is grey
Look across the island into the bay
We are all islands till comes the day
We cross the buning water
Chorus
A seagull wings across the sea
Borken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me
Sadie (The Cleaning Lady) Lyrics
Sadie, the cleaning lady With trusty scrubbing brush and pail of water Worked her fingers to the bone, for the life she had at home Providing at the same time for her daughter Ahh Sadie, the cleaning lady Her aching knees not getting any younger
Chorus

Vicoria Mxenge
A si m'bonanga
A si m'bonanga u tate wetha thina
Lapha ekhona
La wa fela khona
Neil Aggett
A si m'bonanga
A si m'bonanga umfowethu thina
Lapha ekhona
La wa fela khona
Hawu ngithi heyiwena
Heyi wena
Heyi wena hawe
Si you fika nini
La siya knona
La siya knona

True Believers Lyrics
I know your face, I've seen it before A faded memory, a voice through the door Tell me your name - are you friend or foe? A star-crossed lover with nowhere to go True believer you're an open book The stalls are empty everywhere you look
