Tough Enough - Johnny Clegg, Savuka

Picture the end of a cycle

Here’s the fire from heaven

There’s a tired planeet closing down

No more news at eleven

Somewhere the last of a species has died

Somewhere a child is born

When I hold you, I tremble inside

Can we ride out the storm?

Are you tough enough -- can you take the strain?

Are you tough enough -- to walk in the burning rain

Are you tough enough -- can you take the change?

Are you tough enough -- baby just say!

Chorus:

Into the heart of the human dream

Into a strange new world

Remember me under the tree of man

Where I first heard your words

Gonna make it through, I can feel it What we need is a miracle

What we need is some time

What we need is an angel of mercy

In this life

Are you tough enough -- can you take the heat?

Are you tough enough -- to walk in the burning street

Are you tough enough -- can you take the change

Are you tough enough -- baby just say!

Chorus…

There’s your mama and your papa

Waving good-bye in the cold moonlight

In their eyes the confusion of a world gone by And you hold me tightly as we step out

Into the morning light

And I know you are thinking that for something to be born

Somthing has to die.

Chorus…
