Ngiyok'thomaphi
Ngombana side isililo sami
Side kweNtaba iKilimanjaro
Sigeleza kwoMlambo iNile
Siza neenhlungu kweCyclone Idai.
Siyokufika nini ekwamukeleni
Ukwamukela akutjho ukungatjhugululi
Ukwamukela kutjho ukuphila ngok'semandlen'akho
Ukwamukela kuphila ngeqciniso lakho
Ukwamukela kuzala irhuluphelelo lokutjhugulula.
Sekungasuthi isitjho esithi
"Fake it until you make it"
Senze abantu banganiseleki
Sibenze baphila amaphilo wamanga
Sibatjhiye baduda ngaphathi kwenkolodo.
Lesi sililo sami
Ngililela boke abazidibizese ngamanga
Bahle ngaphandle kodwana ngaphakathi bagirikile
Baveza iinthombe zethabo kodwana
Ngemva kweminyango baminza ngaphakathi kwenhlungu.
Ngijame esiqcongolweni sentaba
Ngiphakamisa iphimbo lami ngiyarhuwelela
Ukuzenzisa akusizi muntu
Ukukara abanye ak'sani ndawo
Kodwana kugidisana sikhundhla sinye.
Asivukeni sizithintithe
Sifunde ukwamukela
Siphile ngeqciniso
Sithole ukuthula
Siberegele itjhuguluko.
Ngithokoza isekelo lakho
Duduzile ngibawa ungayilisi into oyenzako, ngiyazibopha ukukusekela...
