light broke in africville
all the mothers took their children down so far away,
down by the boats stirring of nets and hopes


and then back home young lovers walk hand in hand
the beaches boardwalk oceans and sand and she says

'do you love' and he says 'yes i love' indeed

blood carries love rages like a storm

picked up in wave and thrown without warning
it meant nothing to you then,
why does it mean so much now?

if you're leaving, don't you dare leave me now,
in africville.
