In a small town, under Northern Cape skies
Two broken hearts found paradise
Riemvasmaak winds brought you to me
Carel Lionel, my destiny
Both wore our badges, carried our scars
You'd lost your angel, I'd fought my wars
Three boys watching their father's pain
Five kids wondering if love could come again
Late forties finding something new
Never knew heaven could feel this true
Carel, you're my fairytale come alive
In your arms, I finally thrive
After the storms, after the tears
You erased a lifetime of fears
Carel Lionel Pieters, you're my dream
The most caring, loving man I've ever seen
You know cancer's cruel goodbye
I know bruises hidden inside
But we chose to heal, to believe
In second chances, in what love can be
Eight children watching us grow
Proof that broken hearts can glow
Small town magic, SAPS fate
God knew we were worth the wait
Carel, you're my fairytale come alive
In your arms, I finally thrive
After the storms, after the tears
You erased a lifetime of fears
Carel Lionel Pieters, you're my dream
The most caring, loving man I've ever seen
In Riemvasmaak, our story begins
Two wounded souls learning love wins
