Oh,
listen
to
the
strings
of
the
heart
today
From
the
hills
to
the
city,
the
rhythm
stays
true
A
story
of
a
meeting,
a
change
in
the
wind
Let
the
concertina
sing
the
truth
I
remember
the
day
we
first
crossed
paths
The
sun
was
setting
low
behind
the
mountain
grass
I
was
walking
alone
with
my
guitar
on
my
back
Not
looking
for
trouble,
not
looking
for
a
track
But
your
smile
caught
the
light
like
gold
in
the
stream
And
suddenly
my
world
felt
like
a
waking
dream
I
was
steady,
I
was
grounded,
I
was
living
my
way
But
you
turned
the
blue
sky
into
a
brighter
day
Since
I
met
you,
my
life
has
found
a
new
tune
Like
the
quiet
rhythm
of
the
afternoon
Since
I
met
you,
the
road
seems
clear
and
wide
With
you
walking
steady
right
by
my
side
My
life
has
changed,
it’
s
a
beautiful
sound
Since
you
came
and
turned
my
heart
around
It
is
not
about
the
fortune
or
the
fancy
things
It
is
about
the
comfort
that
your
presence
brings
In
the
quiet
moments
when
the
shadows
grow
long
Your
laughter
is
the
chorus
of
my
favorite
song
I
used
to
be
a
wanderer
under
the
sun
But
now
I
know
my
journey
has
only
just
begun
The
way
you
talk,
the
way
you
look
at
me
It
sets
my
spirit
and
my
heavy
heart
free
Since
I
met
you,
my
life
has
found
a
new
tune
Like
the
quiet
rhythm
of
the
afternoon
Since
I
met
you,
the
road
seems
clear
and
wide
With
you
walking
steady
right
by
my
side
My
life
has
changed,
it’
s
a
beautiful
sound
Since
you
came
and
turned
my
heart
around (
Instrumental
Break:
Complex
interplay
of
guitar
and
concertina)
No
more
drifting,
no
more
searching
for
the
key
Everything
I
needed
was
right
here
in
front
of
me
The
melody
flows,
the
bass
pulls
us
near
With
you
in
my
life,
there
is
nothing
to
fear
So
let
the
guitar
tell
the
story
again
Of
how
a
stranger
becomes
a
lifelong
friend
We
move
to
the
tempo
of
a
love
that
is
true
Everything
I
do,
I
do
it
now
for
you
This
is
my
promise,
sung
from
the
soul
You
are
the
piece
that
makes
me
feel
whole (
Spoken
Izibongo)
Yes,
a
solid
heart,
a
steady
walk
Moving
forward
under
the
African
sky
Since
I
met
you,
my
life
has
found
a
new
tune
Like
the
quiet
rhythm
of
the
afternoon
Since
I
met
you,
the
road
seems
clear
and
wide
With
you
walking
steady
right
by
my
side
My
life
has
changed,
it’
s
a
beautiful
sound
Since
you
came
and
turned
my
heart
around
Yeah,
the
rhythm
continues
Since
I
met
you
Everything
has
changed (
