Artist/Band: Lucky Dube
Lyrics for Song: Till You Lose It All
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Lucky Dube



We take a lot of things for granted


One day it' ll be taken away


That' s when you' ll realize


How important it was


You never miss your water


Till your well runs dry


Give thanks and praise all the time


The wolf is always by the door





[Chorus:]


You don' t know what you' ve got


Till you lose it all again


You never miss your water


Till your well runs dry





He' s a hero, now that he' s dead


Oh what a bull preacher man talks about him


When he was alive


He didn't even know his name


When he was alive


He didn't get this love


You never miss your water


Till your well runs dry





[Chorus:]


You don' t know what you' ve got


Till you lose it again


You never lose your water


Till your well runs dry


Till You Lose It All

Lucky Dube's 'Till You Lose It All' stands as a defining anthem of South African house music, blending infectious rhythms with socially conscious lyrics. Released during the height of the township house explosion in the early 1990s, the track exemplifies Dube's signature ability to fuse traditional Zulu musical elements with modern electronic production. The song became a staple at major cultural events and political rallies, serving as a rallying cry for the anti-apartheid movement while celebrating the resilience of the community. Its enduring popularity highlights Dube's role in shaping a distinct African sound that resonated globally, influencing countless artists who followed in the genre's wake.
