BUANASENI

The Watch, the Clock and the Dawn

Here is a present

Here is a watch

Time for us is inherent

And preciously forged

Here is a gift

Here is a clock

The sand falls swift

And our destinies unlock

Here is a tribute

Here is the dawn

The ever devine attribute

And our stories are borne

What have I got to repay?

When sorrow burns me into a hardened clay

Alas, time has passed and away

Half a century one may say

Leaving no more space to play

And I shall cry everyday

Waiting to be flown away

Here is a present

Here is a gift

Here is a tribute

To men and their lives

Resting in the hour glass

Waiting for the last grains to flush

And may we end in just
