I woke up and I realized
that I’ve got nothing to lose
Mntanam
I’ll grow old or I may die young
But I’ll never lose my youth
Qhubeka
I’ll spend my life and the rest of my time
On this earth in pursuit of the truth
Mntanam
I’ll help out and do what I can
To walk in every wise man’s shoes
Like you

Many people in my heart and memories
Many sights, many faces and smiles
Khuleka
Our blurry nights and the pains that we feel
Kinda help us get to know ourselves
Khuleka
I wish you well with your ventures my friend
Be strong, be ever growing and loud
Nyamezela ngoba
Coz after all we’re just young pirates wanting treasures
Make someone in our lives proud

Something speaks to me before I fall asleep
It says to chase my dreams, and not to chase money
It tries to tell me how to find true love in peace
It teaches me things that I never knew about me

I swear I’ll try my best to be happy
Living with only the things that I need
It’s kinda difficult to do so
Living in a world that rewards greed
I swear at some point I’ll try and learn
To have a small amount of humility
Spend the rest of my days trying to figure out
How to be the best version of me
You’ll see

You'll see
