[D] [G] [A] [D](Or [D] with variations:  [D] [Dsus2] [Dsus4] A)

[D]One day I lo[G]oked up an[A]d there you wer[D]e
[D]Like a simple [G]question l[A]ooking for an ans[D]wer
[D]Now I am a wha[G]le listening t[A]o some inner [D]call
[D]Swimming blin[G]dly to throw mys[A]elf upon your[D] shores

(The same progression for this)
But what if I don't find when I have landed
Would you leave me here to die on your shores stranded?

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.

I say:[D]\"Del[G]a![D] Del[A]a! Ngiyad[D]ela[G]!

{section: Chorus}
[D]I've been waiting for[G] you all my life -- [A]hoping for a miracl[D]e
[D]I've been waiting day[G] and night,[A] day and nigh[D]t
[D]I've been waiting for[G] you all my life -- [A]waiting for redempti[D]on
[D]I've been waiting day[G] and night
[A]I burn for you[D]

Intro Again.

A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
And the image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you

I think I know, I think I know....
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I say:\"Dela! Dela! Ngiyadela!
(Content, content I am content)
When I am with you!
Dela! Sondela mama!
(Closer, closer, come closer mama)
I burn for you!
