Elias (Live In Studio)

Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye
Taizofara naye, fara naye
Taizofara naye, fara naye

Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye
Taizofara naye, fara naye
Taizofara naye, fara naye

Kwaziwai? Kwaziwai?
Makasimba, here?
Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo
Ndakasimba, ndakasimba
Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo

You raise you head, you beat the sun
But your boys they lie so close to you
Do you dare get up and wake the two?

Oh Elias, I see you there at work in the day time
Do you think you could
Answer all the questions in the world
In just one word I think you could

If you die will I get word that you're gone
Or will I hear it in passing conversation
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found

Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me

Honest and Manuel, well they're at school now
Given the chance that their father's never seen
To see what's beyond section 17

And in ten years when you look back at your boys
Well, you know they've grown
Way taller than the tallest
Sugar cane in the field

If you die will I get word that you're gone
Or will I hear it in passing conversation
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found

Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
Hold my hand just one more time
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me

I see your wife she stands stooped over by the fire outside
And I see your boys and when they look up
You know I think they got their mother's eyes
'Cause she looks so proud, she looks so happy
She looks so proud, she looks so happy

If you die will I get word that you're gone
Or will I hear it in passing conversation
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found

Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me

Hold my hand just one more time
Hold my hand one more time
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really going to meet me
