Jabulani (His Story) Lyrics by Kevin Paris

Mangos For Breakfast

2010

[Verse 1]
My friend, I must say that you have brightened my day
Im coming from the north, the Great Zimbabwe
See now, oh, I refuse to lose my soul
Or my love for all its worth as this life unfolds
And so I raise my arms to greet the new day
Grateful for this land where I live, where I stay
But blown astray by the winds I must obey
I tell you that my heart is in Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
You see now, I start my morning with a look into the sky
Standing ankle deep, my thoughts arriving with the tide
With each grain of sand that sifts right through my hand
I feel strong love for my own homeland
But wait you see, this life has treated me
As well, most would say, quite unpleasantly
As I pay the fee, to feed my family
You know, my life here is not easy as a refugee
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days Id feel so alone
Kicked around like an old, small stone
Rolling down through the deep unknown
It's in my bones, deep in my bones
[Chorus]
See I'm a refugee, been carried from my homeland
A working man, can see it in the palms of my hands
And I'm holding true, just gotta push on through
You know I'm living this life the best way that I can
Again I say, my heart is in Zimbabwe
Where I grew strong, I lived and I learned
And again I say, my heart is in Zimbabwe
But one day you know I will return
[Verse 3]
Well I've been asked, of the things that I can give
So I think of this life that I've lived and I've lived
And Im not sold, by the cold craze for gold
My love, my life is my child I hold
You see now, just one look into her eyes
I, I know that she put the stars in the sky
Made the, the rivers flow and the soft winds blow
I'm telling you I love her so
[Bridge]
I love her so, oh, I love her so
She gives a smile as the sun dips low
I love her so, oh, I love her so
She keeps my heart strong, wherever I go
[Verse 4]
Ive seen it all, both the large and small
Tough to say I've seen my whole world fall
So I say, I rise to convey
I'm grateful for my daughter, our health, and this day
[Pre-Chorus]
I struggle still, I know
But I have hope of abundant flow
That one day I will take her home
Yes, we'll go home
[Chorus]
See I'm a refugee, been carried from my homeland
A working man, can see it in the palms of my hands
And I'm holding true, just gotta push on through
You know I'm living this life the best way that I can
Again I say, my heart is in Zimbabwe
Where I grew strong, I lived and I learned
And again I say, my heart is in Zimbabwe
But one day you know I will return
