Lyrics

The Chant (Iquo Isang)

She looked at the open door
Staring at the floor
A heartbeat too so fast
A state of confusion
She felt free at last
Free at last to run
Within those that she know
Behind she don't know

Unsure and uncertain
She felt free to run
Run and make a new start
Should she go or she stay?
Within those she know
Behind she don't know

She remembers a chant
A chant keeps her going

Tsamina mina, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Tsamina mina, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Tsamina mina, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
