Every plant given life by his hands Every stone placed to build pathways in the sand There was a magical feeling surrounding that land A mystical feeling surrounding that land And I'd curled up on my mother with the fire ablaze My memories of then are a haze But I can still smell the fynbos after a night's rain And the fairies and the magic The blossom from our brains And there's a child in the tree tops Is she still me? My heart opens as the swing drops I've got bruises on my knees And I look up into the ether The sunset and the breeze Nothing has made me quite as happy as my home My home among the trees ♪ And I'd curled up on my mother with the fire ablaze My memories of then are a haze But I can still smell the fynbos after a night's rain And the fairies and the magic The blossom from our brains And there's a child in the tree tops Is she still me?
