Yeah,
yeah
Mapule,
can
you
hear
me?
It's
been
a
long
time,
but
the
pain
remains
Aweh,
just
missing
you
Mapule,
you
left
waving
your
hand
at
the
gate
You
told
me, "
Lebona,
ngwanaka,
everything
will
be
okay"
I
stood
there
waiting
for
the
sound
of
your
key
But
the
silence
is
all
that
stays
here
with
me
I
thought
you
would
come
back
before
the
sun
set
But
the
calendar
pages
are
filled
with
regret
Kante
haosa
kgutla,
why
did
you
go
so
far?
Left
me
here
looking
at
a
lonely
star
Mama,
you
promised
you'd
be
coming
home
Now
I'm
standing
in
the
shadows
all
alone
Families
said
they'd
stay,
they
said
they'd
be
there
But
those
were
just
words
floating
in
the
air
Oh,
Mapule,
I'm
holding
on
to
your
name
But
nothing
in
this
house
ever
feels
the
same
You
left
me
with
my
siblings,
Tshepang
and
Vusi,
trying
to
be
strong
Trying
to
figure
out
where
we
all
belong
They
promised
they'd
help
us,
they
promised
the
light
But
they
vanished
away
in
the
middle
of
the
night
Hawa
tsamaya
nah?
Did
you
really
have
to
fly?
Leaving
me
here
with
a
question
and
a
sigh
I
guess
that's
what
they
call
God's
will,
they
say
But
it
hurts
to
breathe
in
this
world
today
Mama,
you
promised
you'd
be
coming
home
Now
I'm
standing
in
the
shadows
all
alone
Families
said
they'd
stay,
they
said
they'd
be
there
But
those
were
just
words
floating
in
the
air
Oh,
Mapule,
mme
waka,
I'm
holding
on
to
your
name
But
nothing
in
this
house
ever
feels
the
same
I
see
your
face
in
the
photos
on
the
wall
I
wait
for
your
voice
every
time
I
hear
a
call
Eish,
the
pain
is
heavy,
it
cuts
like
a
blade
In
the
memory
of
the
promises
that
we
made
I
found
someone,
who
does
everything
like
you
I
dont
know
if
you
live
in
her
Its
sad
that
you
won't
be
around
to
witness
the
day
i
take
her
as
my
wife
but
I
know
you
are
watching
over
us
I'm
still
here,
Mama
Just
waiting
for
the
dawn (
Piano
fades)
I
guess
it's
God's
will
Rest
well,
Mama
Sharp,
I'll
be
okay.
