about

Written in Cape Town South Africa on a visit to her family, Marcina composed this when she visited South Africa for the 1st time with her father.

lyrics

Intro
We are travellers, through this life our souls...
must tread carefully,
we are pure and golden.

1
Here Finally in the Land of my Forefathers
Sunshine and sand sea and surf in the land of my
Forefathers, travel, i've searched long and hard
looking for something for identity

2
Looking around me i see its the same for all people
Everywhere i go same reality
Sorrow sadness, joy happiness
all one melody, someday we all will see this and all reach, find our destiny

3
Now i can see theres a home so dear to me
how far i travel is not the real mystery
watch uncover life unveils a joy thats within me
one true witness companion reveals the way to be

im here in the land of my forefathers
my forefathers
