Naledi ya bophelo

Today you made me cry
Today you let me cry
To release the pain I’ve been burying in my living corpse

Then you made me smile
And the sun shine made itself present after a gloomy sky

I know sometimes you shut me out
I do the same
Too afraid to expose the beast within
Too ashamed to reveal the tears
The red face and the snort nose
Too confused to tell
Where to begin
What to say

But when the time is right
And the emotion can be uttered
Then sharing and caring meet each other

I want to play guitar for you as you let the storm break through your cloudy mind
I want to inspire you
I want to be there for you as you are for me

I love you with your 5 minds
And your heart that’s big enough to accommodate those minds
Your name is the definition of light in the dark
So shine
