Sunset Over Soweto (النسخة 2)

Verse

Dust on my sneakers, six in the morning

Log drum still shaking, but the sky's giving warning

Gold on the tin roofs, smoke from the fire

Somebody's mama's already hanging the wire

We been dancing since the stars went quiet

Shweshwe skirts and the amapiano riot

Whistle still in my pocket, cup of rooibos in hand

Township waking slow to a sunrise band

Pre-Chorus

So how do we leave when the feeling's this good

Can the night just stay a little longer if it could

Look east, look east, watch the color start to spread

Chorus

Sunset over Soweto turning into gold

Same sky, new colors, watch the morning unfold

We danced until the dark gave way to the glow

Sunset over Soweto, this is how we go

Verse

Yabo shouts across the yard, neighbor's already grilling

Bassline in my chest still low-key thrilling

Concrete's warm under my feet, taxi horns start to hum

Auntie sweeping her stoep to a piano drum

We been holding hands through the whole set list

Now the day is opening up like a fist

Chrome rims catching light on the corner store

This the moment that we came here for

Pre-Chorus

So how do we leave when the feeling's this good

Can the night just stay a little longer if it could

Look east, look east, watch the color start to spread

Chorus

Sunset over Soweto turning into gold

Same sky, new colors, watch the morning unfold

We danced until the dark gave way to the glow

Sunset over Soweto, this is how we go

Bridge

No goodbyes, just a slow fade

Every sunrise here feels handmade

Hold the moment, don't let it close

Golden hour is where the good life grows

Chorus

Sunset over Soweto turning into gold

Same sky, new colors, watch the morning unfold

We danced until the dark gave way to the glow

Sunset over Soweto, this is how we go

Outro

Gold on the rooftops, we're still here

Sunset over Soweto, year after year
