LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Plant the seeds in the soil below
Water them with the love you show
Teach them kindness let it grow
Shining bright where dark won’t go 

[Chorus]
Teach them to stand hearts open wide
Show them the strength they’ve got inside
Respect’s a flag they’ll raise up high
Lead by example and touch the sky
And touch the sky 

[Verse 2]
Show them how to hold their ground
Without a scream or shouting sound
Words like rivers gentle and bold
Can shape a world and hearts of gold 

[Bridge]
Pull the curtains teach no lies
Let truth sparkle in their eyes
Empathy their guiding start
It’s love that binds no matter how far
No matter how far 

[Verse 3]
Let their fears fade into dreams
Push the shadows through sunbeams
Every voice deserves its space
Lift them up to embrace grace 

[Chorus]
Teach them to stand hearts open wide
Show them the strength they’ve got inside
Respect’s a flag they’ll raise up high
Lead by example and touch the sky
And touch the sky

I listened to a Georgian folk song on You Tube which someone had sent me a link to.  Very short, and almost no story - almost a mystery, really. I looked for a translation into English and found that it had been used by an English speaking, well known performer. I have not listened to his version yet. But having written my own version (such a beautiful melody) I will be and maybe add the link here to the original. I have left it as a mysterious encounter, with no explanation. But intend to explore several perspectives in at least two more versions. This is obviously from the man's point of view, another POV is that of the woman. And thirdly, a call and answer with both singing. |I think it sounds fun.

Should I have Offered Help?

Just a Working Man

Bel my as hulle lyke sink hier in die hawe
Lees die nuus, kyk hoe die hoofopskrifte rou
Dalk vergeet ons waar ons in die water geval het
Waar woestyne groei as die oseane vou

Maak die oggend smaak na metaal, ’n dowwe sein
Honger voel soos die eenvoud wat verlig
Oorstroom my soos die oewers, voer my heen
Begrawe my onder jou gewig
O, begrawe my onder jou gewig

Ek word wakker in ’n kring van oë wat na my kyk
Naalde raak ’n wentelbaan om my vel
Hulle fluister deur die wrakke, tel al die nagevolge
Sê hulle weet, en dis ook al wat hulle my vertel
So oorstroom my soos die oewers, maal my stil tot niks nie
Was die merke af en loop my weg van hel
O, loop my weg van hel

Snikke val tot die grond, standbeelde by die bed se rand
Ek keer my hande, maar dit verbrokkel tot sand
Elke gesig word ’n monument van verlange
Elke asem ’n terugwysende gebed
O, elke asem ’n terugwysende gebed

Ek word wakker in ’n kring van oë wat na my kyk
Naalde raak ’n wentelbaan om my vel
Hulle fluister deur die wrakke, tel al die nagevolge
Sê hulle weet, en dis ook al wat hulle my vertel
So oorstroom my soos die oewers, maal my stil tot niks nie
Was die merke af en loop my weg van hel
O, loop my weg van hel

Moet my nie aanraak nie, moet my nie laat ontwaak nie
Laat die stilte my afdra
Moet my nie aanraak nie, moet my nie laat ontwaak nie
Ek het jou alreeds genoeg gepla

Bel my as hulle lyke sink hier in die hawe
Lees die nuus, kyk hoe die hoofopskrifte rou
Dalk vergeet ons waar ons eers in die water geval het
Waar woestyne groei as die oseane vou
