RAINBOW
Black Motion ft. Xoli M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see my name in shining light
Somewhere in the sky
I’m following the shooting star
And that is where you are
I’m following the rainbow
And that is where I’ll find you
I’m following the rainbow
And that is where I’ll find your love

Defiant to the storms
To find my place of happiness
That is where my comfort is
And that is where my heart is
So I found my way to you
I found my way to you
Found my way to you
I found my way to you
Found my way to you
I found my way to you
Found my way to you
I found my way to you

Wela
Welangaphesheya (wela,wela,wela,wela)
Welangaphesheya (wela,wela,wela,wela)

See my name in shining light
Somewhere in the sky
I’m following the shooting star
That is where you are
See my name in shining light
Somewhere in the sky
I’m following the shooting star
That is where you are

Wela
Welangaphesheya (wela,wela,wela,wela)




Welangaphesheya (wela,wela,wela,wela)
Welangaphesheya (wela,wela,wela,wela)
