There's a little bird singing on my window sill, I pretend I'm asleep, but it's singing there still. There's a new day beginning, the rumors are true, It's beginning for me, and beginning for you. In this house where I'm living things move pretty slow Some of them come, but most of them go My days flow like water through the palm of my hand, My life is no car-chase, just a stroll in the sand No problem at work, no problem at play No use getting excited, should I leave, should I stay? No problem tomorrow, no problem today No problem at all is the African way, in Madiba Bay There's a gravel path leading from city to town Winter and summer, autumn and spring Can't play a damn note, and I don't know how to sing Two of us walked down that road in the night, One of us came back, it seemed pretty right I am the dark half attaining the light, You bore the sorrow, I gave up the fight Koortjie There's a little bird singing on my window sill, I pretend I'm asleep, but it's singing there still. There's a new day beginning, the rumors are true It's beginning for me, and beginning for you Open your window, open your door You don't need all this stuffy air anymore Summer has gone, the pain is all gone Wake up to the sunlight, wake up to the dawn
