Ba Utlwile

Back when nights were cold
And life would show
no mercy on me
I picked up my load, i left my home
for Jozi city lights
Hoping they would shine on me
(Shine on me)
I followed in the light
that they provide
The road was winding
But to my surprise
they burnt too bright
almost blinding me
From the man that i was meant to be
Lord you know
Im so grateful
Truly grateful
Ahaaa
I’m grateful
Almost sold my very soul
in return for something
Tryna hold their foolish gold
But it turned to nothing real
I couldn’t feel it (NO!!)
No couldn’t feel it (No!!)
My faith was far too weak
to hear you speak
you tried to show me
how to live my truth i needed proof
before i change my ways
Now I’m on to better days
Thats why today i am though
For the pain i caused please Lord forgive me
I’m sorry
and yes I’m grateful
Lord you’ve kept me
you shielded me with your love
Love from home
Oh i am
Yes I’m truly
