Sometimes in life
You feel like giving up
You've done all you can, you don't know what to do

You cry (you cry), you sigh (you sigh), you weep (there's no answer)
You've been praying night and day hoping for change to come

(Xorla) mawu la woe
(Savior) - (God will do it)
So lift up your eyes to the hills

(Xorla) mawu la woe
(Savior) - (God will do it)
Your help is on the way

(Xorla) mawu la woe
(Savior) - (God will do it)
Hold on my friend be strong

(Xorla) mawu la woe
(Savior) - (God will do it)
He will come and save you

Do dzi ko (heeii, aye)
(Take heart) - (chant)
Mebe nado dzi ko
(Take heart, I say)

You've given your best
But your best ain't enough

Mebe nado dzi ko
(Take heart, I say)
You've tried all you
Can still no hope in sight

You cry (you cry), you pray (you pray), you wait (there is no answer)
You gonna stand tall
Mebe nado dzi ko
(Take heart, I say)
Know that help is on the way
