A song I wrote for my cousin Shaun, who lives in Australia but misses his homeland, South Africa. Please support me by Liking and Subscribing.

Business roads, familiar streets, Where past and present always meet, That coastal rhythm in my blood, Where growing up felt understood. Chorus These are memories of South Africa, Written in the dust and rain, Every road and every mile, Still calling out my name. From the oceans to the plains, From the cities to the land, These are memories of South Africa, Forever in my hands. Verse 2 Johannesburg, fifteen long years, Love and laughter, sweat and tears, Where I married, built my life, Found my strength as man and wife. Fields of work, a farmer’s days, Early mornings, sunlit haze, Dreams grew strong in Highveld air, A life I built with steady care. Verse 3 Cape Town winds and shifting skies, Four seasons passing by, Ceres roads and Tulbagh’s turn, Worcester hills where wheels would burn. Watching friends race down the line, Time stood still for just that time, Mountains spoke, the cold wind blew, Another place that felt like home too. Chorus These are memories of South Africa, Carried deep inside my soul, Every place, a chapter, Every moment made me whole. From the coastlines to the plains, From the valleys to the sand, These are memories of South Africa, Forever where I stand. Verse 4 Thabazimbe’s open land, A farm passed down by family hands, Waterberg beside the gate, Quiet strength, a patient place. Free State roads where cattle went, Hard-earned deals, the money spent, Dust and hope in equal share, A working life, a farmer’s prayer. Verse 5 Transkei paths to a cottage stay, A friend, a fire, the end of day, Umhlanga Beach, a story told, Where past and fate would gently fold. Natal Midlands, cool and wide, Midmar Mile where I swam with pride, Nottingham Road, the hills, the calm, A steady heart, a healing balm. Verse 6 Magoebaskloof, New Year’s cheer, Mist and forests drawing near, Hermanus plans, a week away, Timeshare dreams of ocean spray, Every town, every name, A different face, the same old flame, A country stitched into my skin, Everywhere I’ve ever been. Final Chorus / Outro Now I’m living far away, Under Australian skies each day, But my heart still knows that land, The dust, the sea, the open span. I dream of taking my girls’ hands, Showing them that southern land, Where I’m from, where roots run deep, The home I love, the home I miss— South Africa, Forever mine, forever missed.
