about

This song is about our trip to meet our son Isaac in South Africa.

lyrics

We go into the valley tomorrow
We go up on the ridge and down to the dam
We go into the heart of this country of ills
We go into the valley of a thousand hills

We go into the city tomorrow
We go past the squatters and underpass stalls
We go into the heart of this city of sin
We go into the city of Durban

Ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah
Ah-ah

We went up to the countryside today
We drove down the driveway of rocks and clay
We came in to meet you from worlds away
Oh we went up to the country on a glorious day

Ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah
Ah-ah,

We listen to stories so heartbreaking
We gape at the scenes that play out in the light
We grope for the hope that tomorrow will bring
Of we listen to stories well on into the night

Ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah
Ah-ah
