Oluwaleero lwa Mande nate
Ekasiriikiriro kabeera okumpi nyo
Nfuba mu birowoozo ebizibu
Eky'okuba nti sipookuba naawe
Emmanga eno wakati waffe
Efanaana eringa etayinza kuyitwamu
Ekaaba ekyiyiringita mu wansi
Tewali kye nsobola okukola gwe

If only we could take these steps
And meet each other halfway
Hope can chase away the dark
So healing can begin
If we could only reach our hands
To let this pain just fade
A brand-new time will find us here
And the beauty of love will win

We stand so very far apart
And hear so many stories
About a God of mercy
Sought for all of time
Naye bwe twefanaanyiriza omwoyo ogumu
Ogwetooloolera ffenna, kiyinza kitya
Nti tutambula mu kyayi
Eky'okuddamu kiri okumpi nyo

If only we could take these steps
And meet each other halfway
Hope can chase away the dark
So healing can begin
If we could only reach our hands
To let this pain just fade
A brand-new time will find us here
And the beauty of love will win.

Nkimanyi, kizibu nyo
Okusaba okusonyiyibwa
n'okwogera
Kiki kye twagala
Why are we so unforgiving
Every word feels wrong
Truth has many sides to show
Trapped in bitter strife

Lini lwe tuliba abeetegefu

If only we could take these steps
And meet each other halfway
Hope can chase away the dark
So healing can begin
If we could only reach our hands
To let this pain just fade
A brand-new time will find us here
And the beauty of love will win
