To Waken the Sun
To Waken the Sun
To Waken the Sun
Let us journey thither
Where we never arrive.
Let us venture there
Whence we return
Before departure
Let us go there
Where we fear to hope
Let us travel there
Where time is
A smiling illusion
Let us journey
To nowhere
And fill our desires
With emptiness
And have the courage
Not to live
Let us go there
Where there is plenty
Of nothing
Let us go
To the un-setting sun:
Yes
My brave Langa
Let us go
To Zimbabwe.
And make the sun
Rise again
Where we never arrive.
Let us venture there
Whence we return
Before departure
Let us go there
Where we fear to hope
Let us travel there
Where time is
A smiling illusion
Let us journey
To nowhere
And fill our desires
With emptiness
And have the courage
Not to live
Let us go there
Where there is plenty
Of nothing
Let us go
To the un-setting sun:
Yes
My brave Langa
Let us go
To Zimbabwe.
And make the sun
Rise again
