The stars are leaning in tonight
The city’s humming, but the mood is right
I’ve been running through the shadows, trying to find my way
But your rhythm is the only thing that makes me stay.
(Pre-Chorus)
Sithandwa sami (My beloved)
The road is getting long
Ngyak'dinga (I need you)
To keep me standing strong.
(Chorus)
So baby, come and be my hero
When my heart is hitting zero
Lift me higher than the bassline goes
In your arms is where the heaven flows.
Be my hero, just for tonight
Wrap me up and keep the world out of sight.
(Bridge)
(The log drum becomes more prominent—melodic and "bouncy" rather than aggressive. Soft piano chords dance around the vocals.)
Ngizok'nik' uthando (I will give you love)
Everything you needwill follow your lead.
(Outro)
Hero... be my hero.
(Saxophone solo fades out over a "rolling" log drum loop)
