Tyd Om Te Trek - Karen Zoid, Bok van Blerk

I did not lose you

But what has won you?

Your passport on the table

Has penned me down

You say that a war is coming

that burns deep inside you

You ask, am I coming with to where you must go

You say, it’s time to move

to take your heart

You say, it is not to cause us to scatter apart

But your words to me

do I want to stay here

because if you ask you had to ask

but you told me

Of your wise plan is this what you wanted

there’s no place for you here

There is so much more I wanted to say

and what I wanted to happen

But here in dark Africa

That asks so much from us

What would it cost to just stay

Your words were too costly

Because what you wanted to say

Was written on the wall

You say, it’s time to move

to take your heart

You say, it is not to cause us to scatter apart

But your words to me

do I want to stay here

because if you ask you had to ask

but you told me

Of your wise plan is this what you wanted

there’s no place for you here

You say, it’s time to move

You say, it’s time to move (2 x)
