Cold cold go away
Come again another day
Keep your sorrows far away
Let us dance and celebrate

Snow snow go away
Come again you lovely sun
Turn the cold to water and rain
Let the snowman melt away

Our minds agree
Circumstances do not
We have a good time
But the timing is off

We met in the wrong season
But the feelings just right
The heavens for us
Hell fighting us

A part of us loves
Yet the other is at war
One leg wants to walk away
And the other wants to stay

A war zone within the mind
A paradise in the heart
It feels right now and wrong a moment later
What will become of this fragile love?
What will become of this fragile love?

You're a flower
Blossom and flourish
Shine in your magnificence
Reign in your prime

But remember life is only a moment
Nothing lasts incessantly
Beauty is temporary
All soon fades
Life

Afremica is an Utopian paradise
The last of the old renaissance
A place of peace, harmony and tranquillity
The custodial venue for the oracle of wisdom

Afremica is the house of beauty
A kind of haven hidden in Africa
The soil rich and fertile
Rivers flowing from the heavens

This is a land of abundance
The economy works for everyone
There is no sick nor unemployed
Prosperity is the dignity  of its people

A place of love and unity
Colour is nothing but a word
Humanity exists in harmony
All men are created, live and die equal

The earth  needs the beauty of Afremica
And  the Humanity thereof
The wells will heal the cancer in the world
The soil will end hunger in the world

Happiness is an illusion
A concept that entices the feeble mind
Always temporary in nature
Here this moment and gone in the next

Happiness is a dream
A fantasy we have designed
A remedy for this aching world
Short term relief for a persistent ill

Happiness is a charade
Like Monopoly that grown ups play
Fictitious and devoid of reality
A farce that should only be enjoyed by children

Happiness is an idea
That sounds beautiful
The hope of every man
A right of every living soul

Happiness is a drug
That we must all partake
To drown our sorrows
So we smile and see rainbows daily
Happiness

What shall I say about you beautiful
Are you a saint sent from heaven above
Or a fallen angel roaming the earth
Maybe a living goddess in a mortal frame

You are the beauty of youth
The first kiss from the first love
The rain that comes at the drought's end
You're that feeling of triumph at the end of a conquest

There's godliness in your voice
You are that rib taken from Adam
The essence of all that I desire
A dream of a paradise in this lifetime

You are beautiful !

You
You inspire a smile in my heart
And refocus my eyes to see
A future so green and so bright
Laden with feelings and laughter

You are the sunny side of Joburg
The serenity of the Durban waters
The might of Cape Town winds
The beauty of the Eastern Cape

You do surgery on my heart
Restoring the brokenness within
Curing the melancholy
Breaking up the discord

I wish for rainbows everyday
Springwaters to bath in
Great renown and riches
But none of that compares to you
