Lyrics Child (Live) - Piet Botha

You come talk to me your words of wisdom
Tell me that the river is really free
But I have been around this fair country
I know there's dirty water on the eastern sea

When I was much younger I used to wonder
Will they ever try and change the world
Now time has caught up, we're all on a shelf
They will sell you for less than you're worth

Oh but child of mine when I gaze upon you
You know my heart it seems to understand
Someday when the winter is over, I will take you
To the promised land
I'll take you to the promised land

Someday when the winter is over, I will take you
To the promised land
