UBIZO – ‘ THE CALLING ’
The new Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon masterpiece of a theme song is as emotionally stirring as it is lyrically haunting .
Ubizo – ‘ The Calling ’ by singer / songwriter Sne Dladla speaks to the calling of being a Two Oceans runner and persevering , being called to conquer on race day , and every day , and the realisation that if you keep pushing , you will surely get there .
“ Challenges have a way of creating the masterpiece you ’ re meant to be . When we accept the calling to journey towards being that individual , the universe responds in kind by providing what we need to get there ,” says Sne . “ I was in a place where I had to accept that challenge , and accept the calling of pushing through to become the Sne I am today . I wrote the song to help with focus on the energy , thoughts and the heart . So that we may never think about giving up , but embrace the voyage to the top of the mountain .”
Study the lyrics , so that come Race Day , you ’ ll be calmed and invigorated when you hear it at the start .
