The Same

CHERILYN NEILSON MACNEIL, DARRYL TORR

Land
Land of my birth
Are you my mother?
Or am I an orphan?

Where?
Where do I belong?
Will I find a place in this world?
Or forever just wander around?

Southern Hemisphere
How did I end up here?
I have nowhere to go
This is the only home that I know

Such a great divide
Between you and I
How I wish it would go
I live in a place in my mind

No, I don't listen to kwaito
Wasn't born in Soweto
I don't understand you
But I want to you know

Same
We're both the same
We share the same heart
We're made of the same parts

Please don't look at me that way
I already live with the guilt that I own
From my forefather's past

Does this land
Belong to the tribes who engraved her stones with stories of old?
They're long gone, you know?
Now this is our home

I want to strip you down to the core
Take off your shirt, hat, shoes and trousers
Erase my head, all the books that I've read
The language I speak, the customs you keep

Keep on going right down to the heart
To the pain that is yours and the pain that is ours
Tell you it's all going to be alright
Is it going to be alright?

Heal
Oh, can you heal?
Heal
Can you heal?
Heal
Oh, mother, can you heal?
Or am I an orphan?
Forever a stranger here

Same
We're both the same
We share the same heart
We're made of the same parts

Same
We're both the same
We share the same heart
We're made of the same parts
