[male
vocals] (
Soft,
melancholic
piano
notes
echoing
in
space) (
A
deep,
breathy
sigh)
We
grew
up
where
the
soil
meets
the
sky
In
the
hands
of
parents
who
watched
the
seasons
die
Peasant
farmers
working
till
their
fingers
bled
Just
to
put
a
little
maize
upon
the
daily
bread
On
mother’
s
side,
the
gates
were
locked
and
cold
Our
own
blood
turned
away,
so
we
were
told
Rejected
by
the
ones
who
should
have
stayed
near
We
walked
a
lonely
road
fueled
by
honest
fear
Oh,
Alice
Manjimela,
keep
the
spirit
strong
The
path
was
jagged
but
we’
ve
carried
on
From
the
dust
of
Mkushi
to
the
light
of
day
We
lost
some
pieces
along
the
way
But
the
name
remains,
written
in
the
stone
We
never
really
walked
this
life
alone
Then
father
found
a
grace
beneath
a
different
sun
Working
for
Mr.
Moffat
till
the
work
was
done
He
raised
us
nine,
four
brothers
and
four
girls
Through
the
heavy
rains
and
the
city
whirls
But
death
is
a
thief
that
comes
in
the
night
It
stole
two
brothers,
dimmed
the
morning
light
Moses
stands
tall,
the
pillar
of
the
clan
Juriet
carries
grace
as
only
a
sister
can
Oh,
Alice
Manjimela,
keep
the
spirit
strong
The
path
was
jagged
but
we’
ve
carried
on
From
the
dust
of
Mkushi
to
the
light
of
day
We
lost
some
pieces
along
the
way
But
the
name
remains,
written
in
the
stone
We
never
really
walked
this
life
alone
Emilio,
we
feel
you
in
the
cooling
breeze
Gone
too
soon,
lost
among
the
ancient
trees
We
are
six
survivors
now,
holding
onto
trust
Turning
our
grief
into
diamond
dust
Four
and
four
and
one,
the
cycle
turns
around
Even
when
the
silence
is
the
only
sound
I
am
Alice,
the
fourth,
telling
our
tale
Learning
that
a
broken
heart
can
still
prevail
We
didn't
have
much,
but
we
had
our
name
Manjimela
pride,
burning
like
a
steady
flame
Dad’
s
sweat
is
the
water
that
fed
the
grain
And
we
are
the
harvest
that
outlived
the
pain
Oh,
Alice
Manjimela,
keep
the
spirit
strong
The
path
was
jagged
but
we’
ve
carried
on
From
the
dust
of
Mkushi
to
the
light
of
day
We
lost
some
pieces
along
the
way
But
the
name
remains,
written
in
the
stone
We
never
really
walked
this
life
alone
For
Moses,
for
Juriet,
for
the
ones
we
lost
We
counted
the
tears,
we
paid
the
cost
Alice
Manjimela,
stand
in
the
sun
The
journey
continues,
though
it’
s
just
begun (
Fading
piano
notes) (
Silence)
