- Tulia, Swahili for "Be Still"
"I wrote Tulia as a self-soothing antidote for anxiety.
Anxiety catches us a lot when we're alone. This is an anthem people should sing to themselves to bring themselves back to a place of living, laughing, dancing, and dreaming."
LYRICS
I feel the pressure rising inside me
I feel like I am losing control
This is a fight I know I’m not winning
It’s getting harder just to breathe
Some days I lack the will to rise up
Some days I can’t get up to fight
It’s hard to see the end from where I’m standing
It takes too much strength not to give up
Na wewe kijana, tulia.
They’re days my feelings turn against me
They try to cheat me there’s no hope
They make me spend my youth in bed
And fighting battles in my head
Na wewe kijana, tulia.
Masaibu ya dunia yatapita
Na wewe kijana tulia
[Call and Response]
Na wewe kijana, tulia.
And I hope you dance
And I hope you dream
And I hope you sing
And I hope you live
