Die Kaplyn Lyrics & Tabs by Bok van Blerk
Die Kaplyn
guitar chords lyrics
Between bushes and trees
Between borders we all wait for tomorrow
But at eighteen we were all lost
How could we understand
And who weighs our lives now
Because only God alone knows why we quiver
Because at eighteen we all just wanted to live
Just one flash and your life was gone
Are you calling me
Calling me back to the 'Die Kaplyn' my friend
The world has turned over the years
When we were young how could we have guessed
Are you searching for me
Searching for me now in the dust and your blood
You said you heard how God was calling you
Are you searching for me
Searching for me now in the dust and your blood
You said you heard how God was calling you
Then it was all over…
After all these years
Far gone do we drift around in our deeds
Only soldiers live with damage caused by borders
How can you understand
Because the bush gobbles our tracks
In the dark bush brothers were born
In the dark we prayed together for tomorrow
But in one flash your life was over
Are you calling me
Are you calling me back to ‘Die Kaplyn’ my friend
The world has turned over the years
When we were young how could we have guessed
Where are you now
Is your name then retained on our walls
You were never honoured and no one will
Write about your life and what you still wanted…
And at that wall
I stand for hours
But where’s your name now my friend
Can they not understand
Young soldiers perish…
Without reason they carry the blame…
