Youkwado Dawn

[Intro] Zilekifi, rudjinawane, abdoulegani Youkwado, youkwado, day by day [Verse 1] In a light of dawn, we chase the unknown Whispered names in a breeze that softly groans Across the hills where distant bells have grown We find our way, a rhythm all our own [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath, listen to the call Every heartbeat writes a rise from fall [Chorus] Youkwado, youkwado, carry me through Zilekifi, rudjinawane, to something true We lift each other up, we break the blue Together we rise, me and you [Verse 2] Footsteps trace the map of hopeful stars Paths converge behind the roofs of cars We speak in colors, not in fists or scars A brighter chorus healing old guitar [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath, listen to the call Every heartbeat writes a rise from fall [Chorus] Youkwado, youkwado, carry me through Zilekifi, rudjinawane, to something true We lift each other up, we break the blue Together we rise, me and you [Bridge] Let the night fade into a kinder day We sing the language that will show the way Hand in hand, we chase the dawn’s soft ray What once was lost now finds its home and stay [Chorus] Youkwado, youkwado, carry me through Zilekifi, rudjinawane, to something true We lift each other up, we break the blue Together we rise, me and you [Outro] Zilekifi, rudjinawane, let’s begin anew Youkwado, youkwado, me and you
