The Same Sun

Mountains fade in the failing light
An African vanilla sky
The evening sun is leading toward the dawn
A dirt road with no sympathy
Is breaking ground in front of me
To question everything I’ve ever known
The shepherd boy who smiles at me
Beneath the lone acacia tree
He shades below
A distant world
A dream away
But this moment that we’re in today
It’s all we know
So I go home
Where I belong
My journey is done
But thinking about how yours
Has only now
Just begun
Underneath the same sun
Underneath the same sun
With smiles of joy
You colour me
Your movement like a symphony
You captured me and then you let me go
