We Have Come a Long Way
We have come a long way
We know each other well
People say water is lighter than blood
But you and I know this season is discovering
Our friendship river gives us wings
Life is hard, but unitedly we fight back
You cry on my shoulder, I hold onto you
You bestow me the sunshine when I mislay my joy
I play you a song, and we sing along with the choir
Because people say water is more permeable than blood
But you are my rock in the world’s abundance
And I guide you when the fiend inside you rages
We know water is more fragile than blood
I love your kids, and you approve mine
I’m happy if you are well and you know my anguish
Collectively we make plans, sometimes you listen
Late at the campfire, we save the world
water is more fragile than blood
But you are my rock in the world’s abundance
I’m calling you when the demon inside you overflows
water is more tenuous than blood
When I’m tired, you carry me
if I am far away, you will pick me up
I’m here; you show me life is okay
When I’m tired, you take me
If I am far away, you will pick me up
I’m here; you teach me life is okay
We’ve come a long way. We know each other well
we share problems and give each additional strength
You comfort me when I cry, and I repay you with a beer
And if the Springboks win then, we’ll celebrate it
People say water is thinner than blood
But you are my rock in the world’s torrent
And I call you when the demon rages
So we know that water is lighter than blood
We know that water is lighter than blood
