Kasiwa i Makasimba ere
Ndakasimba kana makasimba ow Ndakasimba
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
‘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
