He Lives in You by Albus Paulson

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala…

"Here is a lion and a tiger…" whispered the man who sat upon the bank, meditating. He didn't know where the words had come from, only that they Were, just as he Was, and as the still lake before him Was. If the words had come from anywhere, he mused, it was probably from listening to the Dursley's telly while they watched, and I waited in the darkness of the cupboard…
Night
And the spirit of life
Calling
Oh, oh, iyo
Mamela
Listen!

Oh, oh, iyo

Listen to the word of the Earth, young mage, for she will not lead you astray.

These words floated up out of the man's consciousness. He could tell they were not his, and that their master was familiar, but beyond that all was a mystery.

"All of life is a mystery…" he muttered.
And a voice
With the fear of a child

As I was, once… the man thought.
Answers
Oh, oh, iyo
Oh, mamela

Listen!

I can sympathize. It's not good, for you - or for your audience - to be another Cassandra.

The voice had come again, and again it had left no trace of its master's identity.
Oh, oh, iyo
Ubukhosi bo khokho

"Throne of the ancestors…" the man whispered.

We ndodana ye sizwe sonke

"Oh, son of the nation…" the man said, in a low voice.
Wait
There's no mountain too great

"To scale, to triumph…"
Oh, oh, iyo
Hear the words and have faith
Have faith in yourself, my son…

"Dad?!" the man's eyes shot open in surprise. They fell upon the water in front of him.

He thought the water was reflecting his own face. Had his eyes been closed, an outside would have thought so too. But the reflection's eyes were a soft hazel rather than a shade of Avada Kedavra green…

Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith

You are the hope of the universe, Pronglet.
Hela hey mamela

Hey, listen!
Hela hey mamela

Hey, listen!
He lives in you

"You are alive in me, Dad, and I have known that…"
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection

The lake rippled as color faded from hazel to emerald in the eyes of the reflection.
He lives in you
