LYRICS
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye.
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye.
Taizofara naye fara naye.
Taizofara naye fara naye.
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye.
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye.
Taizofara naye fara naye.
Taizofara naye fara naye.
Kwaziwai? Kwaziwai?
Makasimba, here?
Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo
Ndakasimba, Ndakasimba. Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo.
You raise your head, you beat the sun
But your boys they lie so close to you
Do you dare get up and wake the two
Oh Elias, I see you there at work in the day time
Do you think you answer all the questions in the world
In just one word -- I think you could
'Cause if you die will I get word that you're gone
or will I hear it in passing conversation
or will I stop short and fall to the ground
distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found
hold my hand just one more time
to see if you're really going to meet me
hold my hand just one more time
to see if you're really going to meet me
Honest and Manuel, well they're at school now
Given the chance that their father's never seen
To see what's beyond section 17
And in ten years when you look back at your boys
Well you know they're grown way taller than the tallest
Sugar cane in the field
'Cause if you die will I get word that you're gone
or will I hear it in passing conversation
or will I stop short and fall to the ground
distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found
hold my hand just one more time
to see if you're really going to meet me
hold my hand just one more time
to see if you're really going to meet me
I see your wife she stands stooped over by the fire outside
and I see your boys and when they look up
you know I think they got their mother's eyes
'cause she looks so proud, she looks so happy
she looks so proud, she looks so happy
'Cause if you die will I get word that you're gone
or will I hear it in passing conversation
or will I stop short and fall to the ground
distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found
hold my hand just one more time
to see if you're really going to meet me
hold my hand just one more time
to see if you're really going to meet me

Really wish this pandemic would end so these guys can go on tour again. Seeing them live is on my bucket list.

[@excursionsuntamed4372]

One year later and they're back baby, i just saw them yesterday! Did you get tickets? Are they playing near you?

[@GravityDAD]

hope you havent given up on this dream, saw them live over a decade ago in MSG - now my 6 year old sons favorite song is "The Wild Ones" and I think that is just so frigging cool :)

[@mendizim]

I am Zimbabwean. I am always moved by this despite the fact that I am not Shona. I am Ndebele but I love that you connected so honestly with our people. Elias is a lucky man to have you as a friend.

[@thomaspearson6564]

If you’re a good man, good will come

[@geo24793]

Seeing you guys play this in London was the closest thing to a religious experience I've had in my life ♥️

[@garydougal7478]

same! in Camden town did you see them? me and my friends waited 2hrs outside to meet them, they were so nice and down to earth gave us all guitar picks, best gig of my life

[@ReeferCheifer13]

The 10 mins of fanfare after the set really sums up the night eh? They did good. Real good.

[@EricsByd]

One of my favourite videos ever!

Open Borders for the USA. No one is illegal.

[@oldrocker1970]

I would go see this band dowtown Atlanta because I know I would be safe. Everyone attnding will be white.

[@brendanherr4893]

And you wouldn’t be safe in Atlanta because the crowd wouldn’t be white?! What a small minded and asinine thing to say; which completely disregards the entire content and message of the song
