I slipped on the pebbles on the way to the gate
Held my balance on the cuff of your shirt
You were up-set
We were going to the Port Elizabeth port
Up from the hill on due point was fragile to fault
I was up-set

Never live in fear again
No, never again
And all the seraphim
And all the cherubim

Never knew them before, don't know them now
What about my mother and her sisters?
Where was their name
I rose up, sing

Never live in fear again
No, never again
Never, never, never again
Never, never again
Never live in fear again
No never again
And all the seraphim
And all the cherubim

Open the blank New Brighton sky
Worlds suffering
Birds with strangled cries
And a strange joy in their head
So go with open eyes
