Maybe my eyes so inexperienced couldn't see the pain
But my heart was washed in admiration
And the love I would sustain
Coloured by the pride inside and the offerings in vain
As my father held his head up high despite the driving rain

Demarcation and slamming doors
A mercy mission on foreign shores
Divided family, dejected son
But work is work when all is said and done
Shining light of all hope reborn
Weathered through this infernal storm
To the hope of second birth
