Story of My LIfe
Bongi Dube Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am standing here, firm on the ground
But my dreams are far, taking my time to do what is right
Am doing my best, to change the world (×2)

Like a sheep my head is down but my heart crisis the sky,
i heard the call to walk in the light,
am doing my best to change the world

This is the story of my life
I have nothing to hide
This is the story of my life
I hope this song touches the world (×2)

Now i know the meaning of love, it turns the dark to light
Now the world has heard this cry, it gave his all to change the world,
hands and feed, if no to light, slowlyland of pain,
i do believe that soon i'll fly, am doing my best to change the world

This is the story of my life
I have nothing to hide

This is the story of my life
I hope this song touches the world (×2)
