Cape of Good Hope

Lyrics

Two oceans crash where the continent ends The Atlantic argues with the Indian The uhadi bow vibrates between Two bodies of water that have never been friends Cape of Good Hope the journey finds its edge Cape of Good Hope the journey finds its edge Finds its edge Finds its edge A whale breaks surface for a breath The lighthouse cuts the fog in two I stand where Vasco da Gama stood And see the same unfinished blue The bow is one string and a gourd the simplest instrument on earth But at the edge of a continent it sounds like everything the land wanted to say to the sea Cape of Good Hope the journey finds its edge Cape of Good Hope the journey finds its edge Finds its edge Finds its edge I turn and face the continent That gave me rhythm gave me song From Marrakech to this salt cliff The music carried me along The uhadi holds one final note That trembles like a held-back tear This continent has changed my blood And I am not the one who came here
