Lyrics
Left out in the veld
Feeling abandoned and isolated in the open field
Leaves blow in the night
Symbolic imagery of leaves blowing in the night, representing uncertainty
Mother walks away
A mother walks away, suggesting a departure or separation
Can't look can't say the words she feels inside
Difficulty expressing emotions verbally
The tears she'll need to hide
The need to conceal tears and emotional pain
She knows nowhere
A sense of being lost or without direction
I'll take care of you
A promise to care for and love someone unconditionally
I will rock you
-I'll be your mother your father
-I can love you
-I can hold you
-I won't leave you again
-Cold room on your own
Describing a cold and lonely room
Small hand reaches out
A small hand reaching out for comfort
Brave hearts beating
Bravery and resilience in the face of challenges
Touching needing the love I have to bear
Expressing the need for love and connection
The gift you have to share this time I'll stay
Recognizing and appreciating the gift of love to be shared
I'll take care of you
Reiterating the commitment to care, love, and never leave
I will rock you
-I'll be your mother your father
-I will love you
-I will hold you
-I'll never leave you
-I'll never leave you
Emphasizing the enduring commitment not to abandon
We'll take care of you
Extending the promise of care, love, and support from a collective perspective
We will rock you
-Sibe nguMama noBaba
-Sizo kuthanda (We will love you)
-We will hold you (Sizo kujonga)
-Asoze sikushiye
Emphasizing the commitment to never abandon or leave
