South Africa 2021

[Intro] Soft echoes of a sunset, footprints in the sand We chased the easy waves along a golden strand [Verse 1] Melinda, Donald, 2021 in the glow South Africa calling softly, where the rivers flow We laughed in the market lights, small hands, big dreams Tasting the coastline where the wide horizon gleams [Pre-Chorus] If memory is a map, we drew it with our hearts Every cliff and city beat a rhythm in the dark [Chorus] Oh, those days in colors bold and bright We carried the warmth of that southern light Melodies echo like waves on shore South Africa in our hearts forever more [Verse 2] We rode the trains through towns where stories woke Shoresides whispers, a language gently spoke The savanna wind, a distant drum kept time We found our future in a borrowed rhyme [Pre-Chorus] If memory is a map, we drew it with our hearts Every road, every face left a tiny spark [Chorus] Oh, those days in colors bold and bright We carried the warmth of that southern light Melodies echo like waves on shore South Africa in our hearts forever more [Bridge] Time may fade the pages, but the scenes stay clear The laughter lingers softly whenever you are near [Chorus] Oh, those days in colors bold and bright We carried the warmth of that southern light Melodies echo like waves on shore South Africa in our hearts forever more [Outro] In the hush of memory, the sea keeps our tune Till the sun returns to bless us, morning or moon
