One day I looked up and there you stood

Like a simple question looking for an answer

Now I am a whale listening to some inner call

Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores

But what if I don't find when I have landed

Would you leave me here to die on your shores stranded?

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.

I say:

"Dela! Dela! Ngiyadela!

(Content, content I am content)

When I am with you!

Dela! Sondela! Mama sondela!

(Closer, closer, come closer mama)

I burn for you!

Chorus :

I've been waiting for you all my life -- waiting for a miracle

I've been waiting day and night -- day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life -- waiting for redemption

I've been waiting day and night -- I burn for you

A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart

And the image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark

If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you

If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you

I think I know, I think I know

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.

I say:

"Dela! Dela! Ngiyadela!

(Content, content I am content)

When I am with you!

Dela! Sondela! Mama sondela!

(Closer, closer, come closer mama)

I burn for you!

Chorus :

I've been waiting for you all my life -- waiting for a miracle

I've been waiting day and night -- day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life -- waiting for redemption

I've been waiting day and night -- I burn for you
