Bruwer Malan Cross The World
Sitting on the pier to watch the ocean lick the shore
The tides are bringing news back from abroad
Seasons come and seasons go, but still no word from you
My heart longs to talk to you again
Wishing that the waves would tell your story one more time
Of how you rocked the world to save my life
No, I don’t know, but I don’t care what the people say we should and shouldn’t do
Who are they to decide?
What is right for me and you, we will live our lives as we choose to
The open road’s our friend and I know
We will stick together ‘till the end
We will brave the weather, yes my friend
We will cross the world and show them how to live
Cargo trains are speeding by, deliveries are due
They carry dust and wind upon their back
Metal tracks lead the way to find a new world every day
I will send a postcard when I’m there
The rain may pour, the wind declare that this life will not be fair to me
I didn’t ask for more
The morning star leads the way to fields of gold and rainbows just to say
You’ll always be with me and I know
We will stick together ‘till the end
We will brave the weather, yes my friend
We will cross the world and show them how to live
Message in a bottle throw it far into the sea and watch as waves engulf your thoughts
And now you hope I get it soon
Stranded in this town you say you wish you were with me along the tracks of trains
That lead to worlds far in the unknown
And I don’t mind, I don’t care what the people say we should and shouldn’t do
We’ll be together soon
And live the life that we intend, travel roads up to their very end
Just to say we did ‘cause I know
We will stick together ‘till the end
We will brave the weather, yes my friend
We will cross the world and show them how to live with no holding back
