Fifty-Eight Around the Sun

Verse 1

Fifty-eight trips around the sun

And I'm still counting

Every scar a number that I earned

Every year a mountain

Pre-Chorus

Time keeps pulling me apart

But here I stand with a beating heart

Chorus

You now fifty-eight years old

Happy birthday to you

Twenty-eighth of September

Verse 2

Walked through fires I never lit

Stood in rain I never asked for

Carried weight that split my hands

Still I climbed the broken door

Pre-Chorus

Time keeps pulling me apart

But here I stand with a beating heart

Bridge

Zulu skies above the dust

East of Cape Town scraping rust

Siyakubonga for the breath

You outlived the wreck and death

Chorus

Outro

You made it through the wreck

You made it through the wreck
