An important relationship that helped me navigate working in the heart of a black South African Township.

lyrics

Salutations

Our worlds collided that sunny day
Your presence changed something in me
Through airport windows once good-bye’s said
This memory passes over my head

Taking a seat in the empty row
As the plane takes off and ground fades below
My vision blurs as tears soak my nose

You were my sanity, lover and friend
Thank you for sharing your world in the end


The day we met, you spoke to me
When others laughed you stood by me
When i doubted myself you held me close
Translating their rumors and racist jokes

You never lied or demanded my time
Your sincerity an unusual sign

You were my sanity, lover and friend
Thank you for sharing your world in the end

A foreigner you shared your pain
Fleeing your home as shakes went up in flame
One cold evening you spoke of back home
Blaming yourself for your brothers death

Your sincerety gave me strength to care
Stories you shared gave a depth to your smile

Our worlds collided that sunny day
Your presence changed something in me
I write these thoughts down to seal them today
Thank you and good-bye from across the sea

You were my sanity, lover and friend
Thank you for sharing your world in the end
