Elias Lyrics

    kasiwa i
    makasimba ere
    ndakasimba kana makasimba ow
    ndakasimba
    you raise your 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

    [CHORUS:]
    'cause if you die will I get word that your 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

    [CHORUS]

    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

    [CHORUS]
