Land, land of my birth |
|
Are you my mother |
|
Or am I an orphan? |
|
Where, where do |
|
I belong?Will |
|
I find a place in this world |
|
Or forever just wander around? |
|
Southern hemisphere |
|
How did I end up here? |
|
I have nowhere to go |
|
This is the only home that |
|
I knowSuch a great divide |
|
Between you and |
|
IHow i wish it would go |
|
I live in a place in my mind |
|
No, I don't listen to |
|
Kwaito, wasn't born in |
|
SowetoI don't understand you |
|
But I want to you know |
|
Same, we're both the same |
|
We share the same heart |
|
We're made of the same parts |
|
Please don't look at me that way |
|
I already live with the guilt that |
|
I ownFrom my forefather's past |
|
Does this land belong to the tribes who engraved her stones with stories of old? |
|
They're long gone you know |
|
Now this is our home |
|
I want to strip you down to the core |
|
Take off your shirt, hat, shoes and trousers |
|
Erase my head, all the books that |
|
I've readThe language |
|
I speak, the customs you keep |
|
Keep on going right down to the heart |
|
To the pain that is yours, the pain that is ours |
|
Tell you it's all going to be alright |
|
Is it going to be alright> |
|
Heal, can you heal? |
|
Heal, oh, can you heal? |
|
Heal, oh, mother, can you heal? |
|
Or am I an orphan? |
|
Forever a stranger here |
|
Same, we're both the same |
|
We share the same heart |
|
We're made of the same parts |
