Bebo

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [Here is a lion and a tiger]

Night
And the spirit of life
Calling

Oh, oh, iyo
Mamela [Listen]
Oh, oh, iyo

And a voice
With the fear of a child
Answers

Oh, oh, iyo
Oh, mamela [Listen]
Oh, oh, iyo

Ubukhosi bo khokho [Throne of the ancestors]
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke [Oh, son of the nation)]

Wait
There's no mountain too great
Oh, oh, iyo
Hear these words and have faith
Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith

Hela hey mamela [Hey, listen]

(Chorus
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
(repeat)

(repeat third verse)

(repeat chorus)

Time to wake UP!
Heavenly Father, its me once again
Your humble servant in Your presence with
this fire burnin deep within
i begin by recognizing Your power
and also Your grace
And how Your children become one when
we come before Your glorious face
When You look down from Your throne i wonder
what is it exactly that You see that keeps someone
like You so patient with someone like me
I'm free!

All that i have i give to You
All that i am is because of You
If You were to leave us what would we do?
We need You right now!
Just like the forest needs the rain
Just like there's no joy without some pain
It's so good to know You will never change
We need You right now!

God, when You created us i know You probably
never dreamed of all the blood shed and hunger
Through the years, Your eyes have seen more
BROTHERS KILLING BROTHERS
And men being haters of one another
It's hard to be a leader when the money has become your
lover i've divorced
It's hard to praise You when we also praise wealth and fame
We thank You for the Grammy, but in our music God we curse Your
Name
No shame in our game when we bring the Father pain
But isn't it just like God ya'll to love us the same
Ain't nothing changed!

Who can blame God for wanting His people to make a decision
that's why we gotta teach folks relationship and get rid of all this religion
With precision i teach
WIth anointing i preach
i have no time to chase paper too many souls i gotta reach
There's a breach in the line
God's people we gotta get it right this time
For these babies coming up we have to try and save their minds
And whoever has the microphone remember
The blood is on your hands
You'll be judged your life and your sales on Soundscan.
No Bentleys. No Platinum. No Twenties. No Crist
When you take your last breath
Tell me
What are you gonna miss?
When you stand at the throne
You're facing the Son
Will He say leave me now?
Or will He say well done?
And when i've grown old Lord
Tell me what shall do?
When this world has gone cold and has forgotten about You
When love and sex are no longer are pair
And AIDS has destroyed all the ones that don't care
When divorce is the norm and family has died
When white and black folk can no longer survive
When the internet is a person's best bet to find a good relationship,
they ain't happy yet
When the sound of the music ceases to inspire and just like Sister
Lawrence says,
"We aint getting no higher"
When the fire is gone and the beauty has passed
Only what we have done for You Father will last.

My people we gotta get it together
We gotta go back to where we started from
We need You right now
God didn't leave us
We left Him
We need You right now
He gave the perfect sacrifice
For any man believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting
life
Thank You Jesus
We need You right now
Come ya'll
Its time to WAKE UP!

(Kirk Franklin)
