I Will Try
I will try
To dance for you as once I danced
Barefoot in the heavy summer night
In the heart of the Bamangwato lands
And I will try
To sing for you as once I sang
Blue cap shading my eyes, guitar in hand
For the stars by the Thamalakane banks
I will do my best
To long for you as once I sent
My longing out from salt-crusted rocks
Into the heart of Cape Verdian winds
I will try again
To write for you, as I once composed
Words of the deep self, bubbling up
From mystical wells that water the soul
I will do what I can
To be the man who once was young
Who dreamed so free and loved so strong
Because you have brought me to love again.
