Verse 1 Why are we defenceless with our fists clenched up our sleeves, How they bleed us dry and how there's nothing much we can do? Separate ourselves from the spreading cancerous disease, Reject this world reflect on words of rebellion Bridge Why are they so against us? (Why are they so against us?) We can never remember How we rekindle the embers To burn out all of the senses Why are they so against us? (Why are they so against us?) We can never remember all the thoughts And we rekindle the embers (We rekindle the embers) To burn out all of the senses. Pre-chorus Si ati mi(mi) sijiwezi, Ama mi(mi) ni mlazy Sijashiba hii mwezi Dunia mbona hauni-me-zi Chorus If I could believe, that dreams are sparks Of never ending possibilities on earth If I couldn't reach the pretty glares of the stars I'd probably shine the brightest over the moonlit sky Verse Mbona haujiwezi kila mara hasara Ambapo ukijaribu unajiuliza maswala Lakini jipe moyo sasa, jikaze rohoni Masaibu yako yanafika ukingoni Pre-chorus Sitaki kwanza kusleki Uchungu labda hubleki Usizame ndani ya haya na mengi Dunia isha-isha…ishaona wengi Chorus If I could believe, that dreams are sparks Of never ending possibilities on earth If I couldn't reach the pretty glares of the stars I'd probably shine the brightest over the moonlit sky Solo Chorus If I could believe, that dreams are sparks Of never ending possibilities on earth If I couldn't reach the pretty glares of the stars I'd probably shine the brightest over the moonlit sky If I could believe, that dreams are sparks (believe that dreams are sparks) Of never ending possibilities on earth If I couldn't reach the pretty glares of the stars (pretty glares of the stars) I'd probably shine the brightest over.. Over the moonlit sky

Verse And it's so frustrating, to live such a life, And it all once made sense, now look at the strife, We meet at a dead end, can't go further in life Can't go further in life… I've tried to separate myself, from a world connected in some design, I've tried to open up my shell, but it's complicated, can't see the signs, And if you care to reach the heights and make mountains high, Come with me and let's search for the Fountain of Life Chorus Sitolia kamwe, Sishikiki – Stishiki, Hakuna kuangalia pande, Najua naweza rafiki Verse At my lowest point, I can't help but think its rock-bottom, In my darkest hour, I felt all was lost in the shadows, All the pain and the loss, All the shame and the doors, That shut crushing my will and my knuckles, And since we can relate to such you don't even need to bother, Take a step, take a leap, what you may realize Realize! Chorus Sitolia kamwe, Sishikiki – Stishiki, Hakuna kuangalia pande, Najua naweza rafiki Sitolia kamwe, Sishikiki – Stishiki, Hakuna kuangalia pande, Najua naweza rafiki Bridge I see the light, I've realized, I see the light, my will to fight I see the light, I've realized, I see the light, my will to fight I see the light, I've realized, I see the light, my will to fight I see the light, I've realized, I see the light, My will to fight Solo Chorus Sitolia kamwe, Sishikiki – Stishiki, Hakuna kuangalia pande, Najua naweza rafiki

Intro There's been an accident, And I've come in to investigate the cause They said they never saw it coming, Like a flash of lightning like they only heard the thunder They say this man he stood by the shadows, Watching us all as we marvelled Giving ear and making counsel, On all your engagements. Verse What is this mortal life, Than what we give and what we take, There must be more to life, Than what we design, create and stake. For what is given must be earned, And what is taken is returned From all the vicious hands that feed from the scarred Place bait that hope will be restored, But who knows the nature of it all Take it all and take it in and try to savour the moment Chorus When it feels like you're in control, but you second guess its nature, Feels like you're on a roll, nothing bad can get you and, When you feel like it won't rain on your parade then it finally happens, That's what the Rain Man does Verse Through the eyes of all his faithfuls, He provides just what you ache for A hunger rises from His wake, decide, decline or take control And I know just what you're feeling on the inside It's not worth it if He's inside, you just keep falling down his incline as we... All gather as we shelter from the pain, here comes the momentary rain Won't you scream refrain, won't you please retain your innocence As they gather they were dancing in the rain Here comes the never-ending pain, Please retain your innocence Bridge Oh, ohh, oh Ohh, oh, ohh, ohh Solo Chorus When it feels like you're in control, but you second guess its nature, Feels like you're on a roll, nothing bad can get you, When you feel like it won't rain on your parade then it finally happens, That's what the Rain Man does Outro Ohh, oh, ohh, ohh (till fade)

Verse Memories from the times, sudden as they were Erased over time, I hide in my confines. And would this mean everything is aligned, unraveling through time. Would you risk everything, for a lie That's fashioned over time. Chorus And since we are, The Chosen Ones will strive to be Waiting on the stars, The Chosen Ones Verse Where will all the strides of progress take us next, Carefree as we defy, Our purpose from the start. Gazing over skies, and the stars celestial boundaries here we come, Making open minds realize there's much to what just meets the eyes. Chorus And since we are, The Chosen Ones we'll strive to be Waiting on the stars, The Chosen Ones And since we are, The Chosen Ones we'll strive to bring End to all the strife, And suffering to a cease. Bridge I cannot wait, We are the Chosen Children. And I can't contain, All the sounds of the Chosen. I cannot wait, We are the Chosen Children. And I can't contain, All the sounds of the Chosen Ones! Solo Pre-chorus We are Chosen Children We are… The Chosen Chill… Chorus And since we are, The Chosen Ones we'll strive to be Waiting on the stars, The Chosen Ones And since we are, The Chosen Ones we'll strive to bring End to all the strife, And suffering to a cease

Intro You can redefine yourself just let me be, You can, you define what's left just let me be Verse Why do we preach hate? Why do we discriminate on them? What difference does it make, If a mistake is made and it's burning on the stake? What's your colour? What's your race? What matters is the person that hides behind the face. Of all the differences, Why do we remain on things we cannot change? Slowly everything changes You won't like the changes You won't like the phases You decide your own fate This burning still remains A disparity that chokes us all in chains When will we awake? When will we ache for answers with disdain? Chorus You define yourself Redefine what's left Burn out all the rest You decide your own fate Just let me be, me Just let me be, me Verse The harder you think, the harder you sink The boat is setting sail is when you're ravaged by the sea Addicted to this, you scream for a fix A habit you can break if you just struggle deep within, Run from the itch, you cut and you stitch But the wound will always fester if there's pressure on the stitch, Cannot resist, cannot restrict It's a battle you must win and let the damage swell beneath. Bridge You decide your own fate Just let me be, and as… You can You define yourself Just let me be, and as… You can You decide your fate Just let me be, and as You can Redefine what's left Just let me be. Chorus You define yourself You define what's left Burn out all the rest You decide your own fate Just let me be, me Just let me be, me You define yourself You define what's left Burn out all the rest You decide your own fate Just let me be, me Just let me be, me

Intro I'll be here I'll be yours If you would just turn around Chorus I'll be here I'll be yours If you would just turn around I'll be here I'll be yours If you would just turn around Verse My eyes behold, a vision of beauty untold Can a love story unfold If i wouldn't just take a chance My heart is so cold But it boils when I take a glance When you look my way A sudden eruption takes place Let me be the night breeze That whispers in your hair Hold me tight gently squeeze Abeg now, don't let go Chorus I'll be here I'll be yours If you would just turn around I'll be here I'll be yours If you would just turn around Verse I know the feel of your skin As you brushed past me Your smile, your smile At me, or not at me I'm counting sheep, in my sleep Because of you Let me be a fly on your wall Or better still I can be your pillow Hold me tight, lets sleep But you might never know Till you turn around Chorus I'll be here I'll be yours If you would just turn around I'll be here I'll be yours If you would just turn around I'll be here I'll be yours If you would just turn around Bridge Of all the moments that we've shared (Of all the moments that we've shared) And all the colours that we've shed (And all the colours that we've shed) Solo I'll be here I'll be yours Outro Just take a chance Just take a glance Just take a chance Just take a glance

Verse Tunapokea habari Kwamba nchi yazorota tukiwa wapi? Na kabla hatujafika mbali, Kumbuka sisi ndio shida tutatatua aje? Bungeni swala ni salari Mashida za umati ni za kutatuliwa Sunday Kanisa kwani kunaenda aje? Unachunga ukichuna Mwelekeo ni wapi?

Verse For many nights I cried myself to sleep, most times alone In the waking hours Unburdened by the thoughts of my troubled soul Thoughts of hanging a noose within? (Don't go hanging up nooses) Thoughts of cutting a bruise within? (The damage swells beneath) Barely made my prime Something great I can attain in life someday Chorus Sio lazima kuishi njia fulani Sio lazima ujitie kitanzi Verse Kwa wengine wao Husahau maisha ni vita kibinafsi Ukiwaskiza hao Utajikemea bila suluhisho na ni sharti Mpango za kujiumiza (basi wacha kuskiza) Mpango za kujificha (mwangaza upo bado) Sidhani niko hai Uhai haifai mafikira za kitanzi Chorus Sio lazima kuishi njia fulani Sio lazima ujitie kitanzi Sio lazima kuishi shingo upande Sio lazima ujitie kitanzi Solo Sio lazima kuishi njia fulani Sio lazima ujitie kitanzi Chorus Sio lazima uishi njia fulani Sio lazima ujitie kitanzi Sio lazima uishi njia fulani Sio lazima, ujitie kitanzi Solo

Verse Msafara wa fisi sio bure Lazima wakule Wanafuata harufu sio bure Lazima wakule Sheria za msitu kinyume Ndio watu wazipuuze Utashiba kwa wakati kesho ujute Lazima tuwalinde Lazima tuwalinde Kazi yetu ni tuwalinde Chorus Kabla ya kuwalinda Tunageuka kuwinda Ili tupate tu-noti Karatasi za shida Wanyama wa pori Watabaki ni wanyama wa stori Verse Usidhani mlinzi yumo pale Lazima swali tujiulize Rupu rupu zake zilitupiliwa mbali Usisahau maswali Mbona sasa umekiuka ulinzi Baada ya kazi biashara wanasaka riziki Kwani unadhani nani anaujuzi Wanyama wapitapo swali sio upuzi Chorus Sielewi kwanini Tusiwalinde tuuze pembe ya nini? Halafu kesho machozi Watoto wapigiwe mastori Sielewi kwa nini Tuwachinje tuuze pembe ya nini? Halafu kesho machozi Wanyama wa pori Watabaki ni wanyama wa stori Verse Mbona sasa umekiuka ulinzi Baada ya kazi biashara wanasaka riziki Kwani unadhani nani anaujuzi Wanyama wapitapo swali sio upuzi Chorus Sielewi kwanini Tusiwalinde tuuze pembe ya nini? Halafu kesho machozi Watoto wapigiwe mastori Sielewi kwa nini Tuwachinje tuuze pembe ya nini? Wanyama wa pori Watabaki ni wanyama wa stori

Chorus Should we suffer, our ignorant fate Have we found the substrate of all living things When did we come together in generic agreement To the Constitution of Pollution Verse All this waste but none recycled And we still burn, cut down and buy more, and just pile more, The air we breathe is far from becoming pure It's a vicious cycle… Pre-chorus And if we lose out Of all we have in vain And if we burn down All the garbage & remains that spells disaster to our fate Chorus Should we suffer, in our ignorant fate Have we found the substrate to all living things When did we come together in generic dark remains To the Constitution of Pollution Verse We take light of Mother Gaya's plight We burn it down for malls and concrete sights, Familiar grounds devoid of thriving life, Sustenance of the earth that we can't ensure, It's becoming poor. Pre-chorus And if we lose out Of all we have in vain And if we burn down The garbage and remains that spell disaster to our fate. Chorus Should we suffer, in our ignorant fate Have we found the substrate to all living things, When did we come together in generic agreement, To the Constitution of Pollution. Solo Chorus Should we suffer, our ignorant fate Have we found the substrate of all living things? When did we come together in generic agreement? To the Constitution of Pollution.
