In a land across the border,
we had no idea of what was to come.
Looking up at the night sky,
just you and the ever present One.
In a land so far away,
where the fish eagle calls to your soul.
The freedom of the animals...
Something inside you yearns to be whole.
Your heart opens up to the magic,
to the people of this land so humble.
Their lives, their homes, so simple.
Inside you, the walls of society tumble.
The flow of the mighty waters,
home of the hippo and the croc'dile.
The tiger fish so sought after.
Civilisation forgotton for a while.
Riding in the open bakkie,
pure nature, no walls, no fences.
Quenching your thirst with a Mosi,
absorbing the freedom with all your senses.
Evenings, next to the campfire,
body and mind relaxed and happy.
But in your soul a burning desire
for this dream to last forever!
