I dance.
Sbusiso Dlamini 2001 (Durban)
I dance, you make me. my own chosen world, that you.
understanding the lyrics, that hurts.
I'm happy, lemme dance to the music. When I’m down, you're up for it.
when I'm up, you're down to make me.
you're more than just beats, get that.
never just a mere vocal, so soothing.
my chosen friend, you're music.
do bring life, feeling sad.
do get me up, a bit broken.
like birds twittering, under gay trees.
Our souls danced, spirits listening.
