SAUDARA LYRICS

Where are we?

Water splashing
River rushing
You remember me?
Your favourite place
That certain time
Frogs pebbling
(‘Splash splash!’)
The way water runs on warm skin
I see you playing
Tread softly
Or the mud might just like to…
(‘Eeee!’)
Everyone laughs as you get back up
Wipe it off
As you stretch out your hands
And get back up with your friends
Watch the kingfisher flit for the dragonfly
Collecting flowers for your love
You are singing
I am laughing
And I can just
Feel the wind
In my hair
Will you hop on?

The rumble of exhaust pipes
And I remember when this used to be the path where we
Paved now over with
Where was it again?
(Oh yep, just there)
New land for sale right around the corner as we..

I look around and take it in
You could be my, be my kin
Years pass in a single day
Things are changing, but that’s okay

I’ve never seen so many streams
Of exhaust fumes, up to the seams
I know we need this, what if we don’t?
But I ain’t been here, what would I know?

I dream of mangroves filling
Marshy wetland-instead of these
Loops of highway above the sea
Why’s it all for sale? There’s no garuntee!

Are you sinking
With the weight?
Can you hold us, all okay?
I wanna love you
Give you my all
But
I’m
scared
you’ll
go
Oh, I’m scared you’ll go

I love you
Like my mother
You hold me like we are each other
Thick sand, like black snow
Rough touch, but a soft window

Saudara
Saudara
Wherever you are
Ampura
Saudara
