Salt Water

(album: Back And Forth - 2023)

They said it would take only one and a half months for me to cross over the borders
I left my family, my wife my kids for us to seek a better life further
The waters always attracted me when I was young
They say beyond far beyond the sea
There is a white god that would embrace me, release me, relieve me, for I am heavy laden
Release, relieve me from this endless burden

Only salt water
Salt water, hunger thirst, fear of death
Family days and prayer
We've been sailing for days
We've been searching for ways
Only salt water
No hope, maybe death
Maybe death

We've lost so many of us for were running away from our fave
Africa
Some of us made it into the promise land on our getting there
We sell our souls
And then we suffer
Lord release us front his inferiority complex
Don't need a new name
For you know my name...

Only salt water
Salt water, hunger thirst, fear of death
Family days and prayer
We've been sailing for days
We've been searching for ways
Only salt water
No hope, maybe death...
