These days I wake before sunrise
And I swear I’ve been talking in my sleep
But then the night here is the morning where you are
Is this a dream?
These days I’ve been stuck on my phone
And I’ve been trying to get you
These phones lie, they know nothing about our hearts
Is this a dream?
These times zones take us for a ride
I don’t know how to make it right
Am I wrong to say good morning
Yet over there it’s a cold night
Is this a dream?
These nights I don’t know what I’m doing
And I ask myself if I ever really did
But when the sun sets here, it rises where you are
Is this a dream?
These nights I keep my eyes open
And I’m waiting on a hello from you
but when the rain comes, and I fall asleep
I find it hard to dream without you
My heart and I have lived a thousand lives
And we can’t afford to let another chance go by
When the destination draws you in, it can’t be denied
And all I want is more time
Is this a dream?
These days I’m feeling kind of hopeful
Although the future is anything but clear
But I know if we keep moving forward
The way will appear

Just like a butterfly, I will fly
mbuuke mubanga mbeere nawe walahi
mbwenkulabako essanyu linkabya, I cry
If you leave I might die
Boy you should know, you connect me to the dots
When am sick, you’re my antidote
this love that you give is my mega prize
forever suprise
Buliwembeera mubilowoozo
Ekibitwaala yegwe ekiwojolo
Otangalijja, omeremenya,
Wena otukula nga kilawuli
Kiwojolo kyange, Malayika wange
Muntu wange , be my butterfly
Only you, yegwe weka abimala
Am telling truth, byenkugamba g’emazima
I got no other,siyinayo namulala
Nze gwe munyenye yange
And just like Gabulyeeri, you’re my angel
Abayaye ogobeera eri entalo ozilwanye
Abajja n’ekyejjo mu mukwano
Bajjira obujonjo maaso
Oneyegaza, onsanula,
Nzena megerela bwenkulaba
N’ebwembeera mu kirooto ekyentisa
Gwe kiwojolo gwe antaasa
Kiwojolo kyange, Malayika wange
Muntu wange , be my butterfly

Girl from Kisaasi

From Kisaasi, wuuyo Ntinda,
Atuuse ekamwookya, ate wuuli ekiwatule
Nze namusanga Najjeera, naye mpulira ngu n’eKira abeerayo
Kyebando,Makerere mu kerere, Kasubi esuubi alikumye
She had bright eyes
And a wounded smile
And a big black backpack too heavy for shoulders so small
She walked straight to us unafraid
The little girl knelt down and said
Please help me and my sister
Please buy my music CD
Please see me, look into my eyes
We're just trying to live
So she handed me a faded old cd
So scratched that I asked if it had any music on it at all
She said believe in what I say,
And so I wanted to know more,
And then the little girl went on and said
To afford a living, I have to move around
I have to move from town to town
I have to vendor all I own
But all I have is the music
All I got is the music
All I have is the music
See, all I have is the music
Please help me and my sister
Please buy my music CD
Please see me, look into my eyes
We're just trying to live

Kola kyoyina kola
Kola kyoyina okola gwe toloba
Seven days, seven nights
Another week, another month
Before you end another year
And what are you up to?
Nze nkulaba opapala ate ng’obudde bukuyitako
Wololo byetuwulira, buliwebikutabukako n’okuba endulu
Like wololo
Gwe tomanyi
Tuli bayisi buyisi
We’re just passengers
Tuli batambuze butambuze ssebo
We’re just passengers
Seven days, seven nights
Another week, another month
Before you end another year
And what are you up to?
The time flies like bye bye bye and it doesn’t mean a thing to you
Whine whine when it doesn’t go your way
When life gets hard you’d rather run away like
Ooo
Tuli bayisi buyisi
We’re just passengers
Tuli batambuze butambuze nyabo
We’re just passengers

Dunia ki? Mulembe ki? Mujiji ki? Nkola ki?
Baana ki? Bazadde ki? Bakulembeze ki?
Tebalabulwa, tebalabuka, basala misango, bawalanyi
Bona bakambwe, bakutte ebyambe, basazisa birevu eh eh
Befudde abakugu mukuba abazibu befudde abazigu kika
Ensi egwaawo banage egenda tukanula maaso kiki?
Tewali kyetukolawo
Tewali kyetutaasa
Nothing we’re doing
Nothing to save us
What kind of home? What kind of walls? Who to keep in? Who to keep out?
All of these dreamers, what do they dream? Can they imagine when all that they see
Is monochromatic, monopolistic, it’s all becoming monotony
They teach it all, we learn it all, but in the end we know nothing
We give it all and they take it all
We have everything but we got nothing
The world spins out of control and we look on like it’s nothing
Tewali kyetukolawo
Tewali kyetutaasa
Nothing we’re doing
Nothing to save us
Muzibule amaaso, tutaase ensi eno
tugende maasa, tuzimbe ensi eno
Tewali kyetukolawo
Tewali kyetutaasa
Nothing we’re doing
Nothing to save us

Take me to a place with no tears
Take me to a place with cool air
Where the people live with no debts
Where the love is real and not fake
Take me from this world divided
Where everybody’s hiding
Behind the shadows of the fighting
That corruption has invited
Take me to the future
Where lies the power
Take me to the future
We’re all healing from something
Running to somewhere
Searching for roots
We’re longing for a belonging
Work for survival
Aim for a better world
Lean to each other
We’re longing for a belonging
Wanna be in a place with no race
No bias, no prejudice
Where the people live limitless
Where ideology is not faith
We should have this world to call our home
We should have each other as our own
Umuntiu ng’umuntu,
Ng’abantu Ubuntu
We’re all healing from something
Running to somewhere
Searching for roots
We’re longing for a belonging
Umuntiu ng’umuntu,
Ng’abantu Ubuntu
Take me to the future
Where lies the power
Take me to a place with no tears
