Boy

Arno Carstens

It was day it was night it was winter and rain

Summer and spring and then back again

It was the come to me come to methe mother the child, I won't know my eyes were too wild

She said here we farm with feelings with hands we turn the soil

It's a gamble gamble gambling

Wishful sound of joy

He is my boy...

It was the father forever the mother so clever

I can tell I can tell he will do so well

They branded me father marksman and king lord over planets of which children dream

She said here we farm with feelings with hands we turn the soil

It's a gamble gamble gambling

Wishful sound of joy

He is my boy...

It was day it was night it was winter and rain

Summer and spring and then back again

In 24 hours in 24 years I have grown older with my well-oiled gears

She said here we farm with feelings with hands we turn the soil

It's a gamble gamble gambling

Wishful sound of joy

He is my boy...
