Sometimes We Are One

We're walking in dust, we're dancing in rain
I'm crying in joy, you're laughing through pain
I'm shouting in silence, you whisper out loud
We're standing alone in the middle of a crowd
We're standing alone in the middle of a crowd

I need myself and I need you
Sometimes I'm red, sometimes I am blue
I need myself and I need you
Sometimes we are one and
Sometimes we are two
Ke kgomo ya moshate

The light of today and the never-dark of night
When nothing is left, we know exactly what is right
Sometimes I am grounded and sometimes I take flight
I see heaven's door in the yellow of my kite
I see heaven's door in the yellow of my kite

I need myself and I need you
Sometimes I'm red, sometimes I am blue
I need myself and I need you
Sometimes we are one and
Sometimes we are two
Ke kgomo ya moshate

We savour every moment, we crave tomorrow
We sit down next to happiness, we run away from sorrow
I feel the coolness of your hand on my face
Let us let go of our problems and slow this human race
Let us let go of our problems and slow this human race

I need myself and I need you
Sometimes I'm red, sometimes I am blue
I need myself and I need you
Sometimes we are one and
Sometimes we are two
Ke kgomo ya moshate

We're running with the big dogs, take pictures of our cats
We read children stories and try out different hats
I taste a snowflake on the tip of my tongue
I listen to your laughter, it will stay forever young
I look into your eyes, they will stay forever young

Oh, living close to me is impossible
Far away from you even more so
Life between extremes
Life between extremes

I need myself and I need you
Sometimes I'm red, sometimes I am blue
I need myself and I need you
Sometimes we are one and
Sometimes we are two
Ke kgomo ya moshate
