Lyrics - Tough Enough by Clegg Johnny

LOMHLABA
UNZIMA,
LOMHLABA[this world is a harsh place, this world]
Picture the end of a cyclehere's the fire from heaven
There's a tired planeet closing downno more news at elevensomewhere the last of a species has diedsomewhere a child is bornwhen
I hold you,
I tremble insidecan 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 dreaminto a strange new worldremember me under the
Tree of
Manwhere
I first heard your wordsgonna make it through,
I can feel it
What we need is a miraclewhat we need is some timewhat we need is an angel of
Mercyin 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 papawaving good-bye in the cold moonlightin their eyes the confusion of a world gone byand you hold me tightly as we step outinto the morning lightand
I know you are thinking that for something to be bornsomthing has to die.
Chorus...
Vele vele we mama kunjalo[
It is true, it's obvious.
Mama, it is just as you say].
