I did not lose you
But what has won you?
Your passport on the table
Has pinned me down here
You say that a war is coming
that's burning deep inside of you
You ask, if I'll go with you
to where you have to go?
(Refr:)
You say, it’s time to move,
to pluck up your courage.
You say, it shouldn't cause us to be scattered apart
But your words to me
asking if I want to stay here?
Because if you ask, you had to ask
But you told me
of your wise plan - is this what you wanted?
There’s no place for you here;
You say, it’s time to move –

There is so much more I wanted to say,
and that I wanted to happen.
But here in dark Africa,
That demands so much of us,
What would it cost to just stay?
Your words were too costly,
because what you wanted to say
was written on the wall.
(Refr:)
You say, it’s time to move,
to pluck up your courage.
You say, it shouldn't cause us to be scattered apart
But your words to me
asking if I want to stay here?
Because if you ask, you had to ask
But you told me
is this what you wanted?
There’s no place for you here;
You say, it’s time to move –

Maar jy’t my gesê – But you told me
of your wise plan - is this what you wanted?

It’s time to move!
to pluck up your courage.
You say, it shouldn't cause us to be scattered apart
But your words to me
asking if I want to stay here?
Because if you ask, you had to ask
But you told me
is this what you wanted?
