"I'm singing" by Zola Qwabaza

Zola Qwabaza 2011-11-09 They can see that we're singing
They can see that we're dancing
They’re looking at us like
we're not right in the head
Let's invite them to join us
Before they try to call the cops
Before they try to call the cops
We don't want them to call the cops

Anton A Richter 2011-11-09

but inside I'm just a boy.
A boy who grew fond of a girl.
A girl who didn't know the truth.

"Look mama" by Alistair Anderson

Four wheels, two real, two surreal
Yeah mom, you always were shorter than me.

"Move" by Johann Joubert

Johann Joubert 2011-11-09 If we fail to hear the music,
If we fail to hear the song,
If we fail to let it stir us into motion,
Then the daylight will not wake us,
Then our tears will soon run dry,
And gone will be the laughter from our eye.

"On the radio" by Johann Joubert

Johann Joubert 2011-11-09 There was a song on the radio,
It made me think of you,
It wouldn’t let me go, so I had to know …

"Change" by Johann Joubert

Johann Joubert 2011-11-09 If we wait for the world to change,
We will wait until the wind wails through the hollows of our eyes,
As we fixate on the sunset,
Wishing on a whisper of a hopeless dream,
Wishing is a slow and painful death,
Wishing is allegiance to fear,
Wishing is the courage that a man should have,
Diluted to the point of insignificance,
The only step that matters is the first,

"I get to know you better" by Hummingbird

Hummingbird 2011-11-09 I woke up this morning, and rolled out of bed
I woke up this morning, and fell out of bed
Saw my man had a message
So I looked what it said

Dissolving in fireflies

Wash my sins away

"Hurry" by Zola Qwabaza

Zola Qwabaza 2011-11-09 We started out as friends when you
hurt me things became a little different

but you make too many empty promises

"Be right here" by Zola Qwabaza

Zola Qwabaza 2011-11-09
The advice that you give me is amazing
The chats that we have are great
You inspire me not to give up in dreams
and you bring out the best in me

"I want it" by Zola Qwabaza

Zola Qwabaza 2011-11-09 They have everything I've wanted all my life
Things that I have been praying to receive
Things I've thought of and am still thinking of
They're getting all that I'm supposed to get
And they hate me but I love me
