Marching Letra

we are marching to better life
where our sorrows are taken away

good people
calling out to all my good people in the south side of the continent,
africa
a plea to south africa
welcome in your home as my home is no more a home but a hole
living in a restricted zone
hard
living in the side-line or was it the backline?
where our future’s taken away
that comes close to my day
bullets coming astray
no playgrounds for children to play
no one cares what you say
oh god!
can somebody, anybody hear my cry
see no beautiful sunshine with people’s body decaying
nothing close to okay
freedom fading away
sick of starvation so migration is my only way
the burning sun has burned their souls away
there’s no rain
but still hoping for a good place to stay
that’s why we’re marching to a better life
where our sorrows are taken away, taken away

we are marching to a better life
where our sorrows are taken away

we are marching to better life
where our sorrows are taken away

war
death
pain
and starvation
it’s a painful situation
they’re taking over our nation
i can’t take it anymore
i’m tired of this war
they’re decreasing population and taking over our nation
here and now
ngiyasithatha isinqumo sokufunela umndeni wami impilo encono
(translation: i make the decision to look for a better life for my family)
we’re marching on to a better life
leaving our sorrows in the past.

we are marching to a better life
where our sorrows are taken away

we are marching to better life
where our sorrows are taken away

these tears i cry are beyond my
my belief
i’ve been dragged before
i’ve been hurt before
no worries i am leaving all my troubles away
maybe if i try
maybe if i die
maybe if i cry
life will be so kind
they told me i should leave
i kneel down on my knees
begging them ‘please’
to leave me in peace

we are marching to a better life
where our sorrows are taken away

we are marching to better life
where our sorrows are taken away
