Durban Skies

All that I've got to be thankful for
All that I've got to be thankful for
In the heat, try to love these streets
In this town, it all went down
Our chromosomes in sepia tones
In my mind, in my mind
Where you lead your lives
Before from our small island
Brought right back to these shores
To these shores, to these shores
It’s alive, It’s alive
When I see it through your eyes
It’s alive, It’s alive
Now I understand your lives
When you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city
Beneath the Durban Skies
Oh oh oh
All that I've got to be thankful for
On the day you made your vows
The heaven’s opened, rain poured down
It poured down
Down, down
Grey and brown, the seventies
It suits you wore, and the ones you loved
Were so young, were so young
Lord, you were so young
It’s alive, It’s alive
When I see it through your eyes
It’s alive, It’s alive
Now I understand your lives
When you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city
Beneath the Durban Skies
Oh oh oh
All that I've got to be thankful for
Oh, all that I've got to be thankful for
All that I've got to be thankful for
It’s alive, It’s alive
When I see it through your eyes
It’s alive, It’s alive
Now I understand your lives
When you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city
Beneath the Durban Skies
When you take me there, ooh
When you take me there
It’s alive, It’s alive
When you take me there
It's alive, It's alive
