[Intro – Soft Guitar Picking]
Hhayi bo!
Ngibheke phambili, ngibheke phezulu,
Ikusasa lami liyakhanya…
Ngisho amanzi emvula angalele,
Ngiyazi kukhona ukukhanya ngaphezu kwezinkungu.

[Verse 1]
Ngihamba endleleni yomhlabathi,
Ngilalela umoya, ngizwa izinyoni zingicula,
Abangane bayakhala, abanye bayahleka,
Kodwa mina ngiyazi, ikusasa lami liyakhanya.
Umama wathi, “ngane wami, ungapheli amandla,”
Ubaba wathi, “hlonipha izifundo, ziqoqe kahle,”
Ngibambelele ezintweni engizikholelwayo,
Ngoba ikusasa lami, ngiyakwazi ukuliphupha.
Abangani bami bahlala bedlala nami,
Kodwa sengifunde ukuhlukanisa okubalulekile,
Ukuqonda ukuthi umhlaba awulona indawo yamanga,
Futhi impilo iyafundisa, uma uyilalela kahle.

[Chorus 1]
Ikusasa lami liyakhanya,
Njengelanga liphuma ekuseni,
Ngisho noma kunezulu namafu,
Ngiyazi lizokhanya.
Ikusasa lami liyakhanya,
Ngiyalilwela ngenhliziyo yami,
Ngoba mina ngiyakholelwa,
Ekutheni ngizofinyelela!

[Verse 2]
Ngisafunda, ngiyaphila, ngiyafunda empilweni,
Abanye bayangikhuthaza, abanye bayangihleka,
Kodwa ngiyazi ukuthi uhambo lwami lwami lodwa,
Futhi uNkulunkulu ungibekile endleleni yami.
Ngizobhala igama lami esibhakabhakeni,
Ngizokwenza abanye baphuphe nami,
Ngoba ikusasa alilona iphupho kuphela,
Kodwa umsebenzi, inkani, nokuthemba.
Ukuba nekhono, ukuphikelela, ukungapheli amandla,
Yikho engikufundayo nsuku zonke,
Imfundo, ubungani, nokuzithiba,
Kuyizihluthulelo zokuphila impilo egcwele.

[Chorus 2]
Ikusasa lami liyakhanya,
Njengelanga liphuma ekuseni,
Ngisho noma kunezulu namafu,
Ngiyazi lizokhanya.
Ikusasa lami liyakhanya,
Ngiyalilwela ngenhliziyo yami,
Ngoba mina ngiyakholelwa,
Ekutheni ngizofinyelela!

[Verse 3]
Izithiyo ziyavela, izinsukuziyadabuka,
Ngiyakhala, ngiyahleka, kodwa angiyeki,
Ngoba ngaphakathi kwami kukhona amandla,
Amandla okwenza konke engikufisayo.
Amadoda nabesifazane engihlangana nabo,
Bafundisa ukufuna okungcono, ukufuna ukuqonda,
Ngizothatha konke engikufundayo,
Ngakhe ikusasa lami ngithi, “Ngiwufezile umgomo wami.”
Ngiyazi ukuthi kuyodingeka ngenze amaphutha,
Ngibe nezinhlungu, ngibe nezinselelo,
Kodwa konke lokhu kuyisifundo sokukhula,
Ukukhula okwenza ngiqine, ngibe ngumuntu oqotho.

[Bridge 1 – Reflective Guitar Picking]
Ngizohamba ngize ngifinyelele,
Ngizokhanya ngize ngikhazimule,
Abangani bami bazobona,
Ukuthi ukuphupha kuyasiza.
Futhi uma ngibheka emuva,
Ngizobona yonke indlela engihambile ngayo,
Kusuka lapho ngiphuma khona, kuya lapho ngiya khona,
Ngiyabonga, ngiyazisa, ngiyakhuleka.

[Verse 4]
Ikusasa alilona iphupho kuphela,
Kodwa umsebenzi, ukuthembeka, nokuqonda,
Ukuba nesineke lapho izinto zinzima,
Futhi ukulalela inhliziyo yakho, ungayeki.
Izikhathi ezimnyama ziyizifundo ezinhle kakhulu,
Futhi ukukhanya okuncane kuyenza ibe inkanyezi enkulu,
Ngizokwenza kahle, ngizokwenza ngempela,
Ngoba lokhu ikusasa lami, futhi lingokwami.

[Verse 5 – Extended Storytelling]
Ngikhumbula izingane zami engiyibonile endleleni,
Abaphupha ngcono, abafuna ukuphila kahle,
Ngibona amathuba nezikhathi ezinhle phambi kw
