Kevin Paris - Jabulani (his Story) lyrics

Jabulani (His Story) My friend I must say that you have brightened my day Im coming from the north, the Great Zimbabwe See now I refuse to lose my soul Or my love for all its worth as this life unfolds And so I raise my arms to greet the new day Grateful for this land where I live, where I stay But blown astray by the winds I must obey I tell you that my heart is in Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe You see now, I start my morning with a look into the sky Standing ankle deep, my thoughts arriving with the tide With each grain of sand that sifts right through my hand I feel strong love for my own homeland But wait you see, this life has treated me As well, most would say, quite unpleasantly As I pay the fee, to feed my family My life here is not easy as a refugee. Pre-chorus Some days Id feel so alone // Kicked around like an old, small stone Rolling down through the deep unknown // Its in my bones, deep in my bones Chorus: See Im a refugee, been carried from my homeland // A working man, can see it in the palms of my hands And Im holding true, just got to push on through // You know Im living this life the best way that I can Again I say, my heart is in Zimbabwe // Where I grew strong, I lived and I learned Again I say, my heart is in Zimbabwe // But one day you know I will return Well Ive been asked, of the things that I can give So I think of this life that Ive lived and Ive lived And Im not sold, by the cold craze for gold My love, my life is my child I hold You see now, just one look into her eyes I know that she put the stars in the sky Made the rivers flow and the soft winds blow Im telling you, I love her so I love her so, oh I love her so She gives a smile as the sun dips low I love her so, oh I love her so She keeps my heart strong, wherever I go Ive seen it all, both the large and small Tough to say Ive seen my whole world fall So I say, I rise to convey Im grateful for my daughter, our health, and this day Pre-chorus I struggle still, I know // But I have hope of abundant flow // That one day I will take her home, Yes, well go home. Yes, well go home! Chorus But Im a refugee, been carried from my homeland A working man, can see it in the palms of my hands And Im holding true, just got to push on through You know Im living this life the best way that I can Again I say, my heart is in Zimbabwe Where I grew strong, I lived and I learned Again I say, my heart is in Zimbabwe But one day I will return
