Every morning I wake with tears in my eyes,
Smiling to the world while my spirit cries.
I've knocked on many doors, but none opened wide,
So now I come to You, Lord; in You I will hide.

Lesa wandi, umfweni lelo,

Ni Imwe fye subilo lyandi.
CHORUS
Full band joins.
🎤
Cry over my heart,
Lord, hear my prayer.
When nobody sees me,
I know You're there.

Mumpokelele.
Mutima wandi,
Ulefwaila Imwe.
Though the night is long,
I'll still believe.
You are my hope,
You never leave.

You know every tear...

Even when I cannot see tomorrow,
Your hand is never far.

"Cry over my heart..."
with stronger harmonies each time.
