Little Girl
Yanga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living in your little world
But this little girl is more than just a face
I'm just trying to make you see
That there's more inside of me
More than what you choose to see
Ndidiniwe ukuzama everyday intwenye
Ndiyalwa ndiyakhala
I got to face another day
I put on a smile
No tears in my eyes
But deep down inside I'm living a lie
It's not what it seems
I'm living the dream from behind the screen
Ntombazana sukoyik' ugqama
Khanyisa isbane sakho
Singakhanya even more
Ntombazana libala konke
Ngomso is another day
Ndiyayazi uzayifuman' indlela
I'm climbing still trying
Everyday find a way
To keep my head above the water
From drowning
Keep swiming now I'm diving
I'm still pushing through the waves
I put on a smile
No tears in my eyes
But deep down inside I am living a lie
It's not what it seems
I'm living the dream from behind the screen
Little girl, don't be afraid to shine
Turn up your dying light
I know it can be brighter still
Little girl, don't throw it all away
Tomorrow is another day
I know you will find a way
Ntombazana sukoyik' ugqama
Khanyisa isbane sakho
Singakhanya even more
Ntombazana libala konke
Ngomso is another day
Ndiyayazi uzayifuman' indlela
Little girl
You still see a little girl
Living in your little world
But this little girl is more than just a face
I'm just trying to make you see
That there's more inside of me
More than what you choose to see

Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +2349155255546) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you.
