Love In The Time Of Gaza
Love's Resilience: Echoes of Hope Amidst Conflict
Lyrics
I was born inside the rain on a day of wonder
I was born in challenging circumstances, marked by uncertainty.
Locked inside my brain memories of thunder
My mind holds memories of intense experiences.
I grew up a refugee, my life not fixed or free
I grew up as a refugee, with a life that lacked stability and freedom.
I know the world's not to blame
I acknowledge that the world is not responsible for my situation.
'Cause everybody carries my name
Everyone shares a common identity, reflected in my name.
Ooh, these are my Fathers' people
Expressing a connection to ancestral roots and heritage.
(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, this is where the Human tree once grew
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, we are the children of the new world
Embracing a sense of unity and a shared vision for the future.
(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, we have a new dream pushing through
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-The sky is black with gunships
Amidst conflict (gunships), yearning for a relationship symbolized by a girl who may not fully understand my world.
But I'm dreaming of a girl
-In her eyes, love and friendship
-But will she understand my world?
-Now I'm like a windswept sea
Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting emotions (fear and hope) and unsure if my perspective will be understood.
Fear and hope crashing over me
-Will she think my world is cruel
-When I share my point of view?
-Ooh, these are my Fathers' people
Reiteration of ancestral connection and the human tree, emphasizing continuity.
(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, this is where the human tree once grew
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, we are the children of the new world
Affirming the presence of a new generation with fresh dreams and aspirations.
(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, we have a new dream pushing through
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ohh, it's a strange world
Describing the world as strange and restrictive (caged bird).
(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele) yeah
-Oh, it's a caged bird
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele) yeah
-Ohh, gimme what you say
Seeking understanding and a new beginning, echoing the desire for change.
(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele) yeah
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Oh, gimme a brand new day
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele) yeah
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, these are my Fathers' people
Connection to ancestral roots reiterated with a focus on the human tree.
(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, this is where the human tree once grew
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, we are the children of the new world
Acknowledging a new generation with evolving dreams.
(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, we have a new dream pushing through
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, these are my Fathers' people
Continued emphasis on ancestral ties and the human tree as a symbol of shared heritage.
(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, this is where the human tree once grew
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-(Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
-Ooh, we are the children of the new world
Reiteration of the new generation's dreams and aspirations.
