Yebo, don't be afraid now.
Baba says, "I am with you."
I was hesitating, just a young boy in the street
Didn't know how to speak, felt the dust on my feet
But Jehovah called my name, told me "stand up tall"
With His hand in my hand, I will never fall.
He said Isaiah forty-one, verse thirteen is the key
"I will hold your right hand, trust in me."
Ungasabi, do not fear, I will help you today
Aweh! The word is a fire, it's burning its way!
Umlilo emathanjeni, deep in my bones
We are moving with power, we are never alone!
Ungasabi, do not fear, asambe!
Like Jeremiah, I tried to hold it in
But the fire was too hot, where do I begin?
When the spirit moves, the log drum starts to play
Bringing light to the dark, washing fears away.
Sharp sharp, we are ready, we speak the truth
From the elders in the township to the rising youth.
Ungasabi, do not fear, I will help you today
Aweh! The word is a fire, it's burning its way!
Umlilo emathanjeni, deep in my bones
We are moving with power, we are never alone!
Ungasabi, do not fear, asambe!
Sho, do not fear.
Umlilo emathanjeni.
Yebo.
