Bruwer Malan Let It Burn
Though friends might come along you will see that the storms keep on coming
Through thick and thin we’ll stand and brave the weather
As the raindrops keep on falling on the shoes we bought today
Don’t turn the other way we’ll keep on building the bridges we built on yesterday
The bricks we lay on down well they don’t cry don’t make a sound
And as they’re falling into place, they light up your face
Drown sorrow with your smiles; we’ll go the extra mile
To Paris, if we have to, it’ll always be worth while
So drink your cup my friend to this there’ll be no end
Put a log on the fire and watch the flames go higher
Let it burn
Like me and you
Like good friends do
We’ll burn with other friends too
Today you will see oceans roll over sand and wash away
The pictures we drew with a princess that needs to be saved
As tides pull the drawings we made we can know
The memories we make will remain in our hearts
Our love for the road and the wind in our hair sets us free
To go where we want and to take photo’s for all to see
A picture can scream at the top of its lungs
And not describe the love that we share
So let it burn
Like me and you
Like good friends do
We’ll burn with other friends too
