Eric Wainaina – Sawa Sawa Lyrics

Verse 1
I wake up early in the morning
and hear the birds call out my name
I look heavenward
hear your voice say
you’re alright, you’re okay
I’m alright I’m okay

Chorus
sawa sawa, sawa sawa
another day and another hour

bawa bawa, mabawa
I’m growing wings to fly like eagles

higher higher, higher higher
I’m reaching for the skies and further

sawa sawa, sawa sawa
sawa sawa

Verse 2
I tune into my favourite radio station
to hear the news from yesterday
somebody somewhere won’t get to see another day
but I’m alright, I’m okay
I’m alright I’m okay

Chorus
sawa sawa, sawa sawa
another day and another hour

bawa bawa, mabawa
I’m growing wings to fly like eagles

higher higher, higher higher
I’m reaching for the skies and further

sawa sawa, sawa sawa
sawa sawa

Verse 3
everyday in my dreams
I’m rising it seems
but there’s nothing to hold me
I’ve seen the unseen
my faith in my anchor
my hope in my rudder
and nothing can hold me
as I cross the sea

Guardian angel won’t you guide me
across the range to my destiny
I’ve stretched my rod
as far as I can reach
you see I’m alright, I’m okay
I’m alright I’m okay

Chorus
sawa sawa, sawa sawa
another day and another hour

bawa bawa, mabawa
I’m growing wings to fly like eagles

higher higher, higher higher
I’m reaching for the skies and further

sawa sawa, sawa sawa
sawa sawa
