Silence

Mosa Matsheta 2003 (Klerksdorp)

Lyric
Silence must be my greatest weakness
Yet I use it to my advantage in order for it to lead me to greatness
I still wish I could tell you how I feel
I know you going to say it ain't a big deal
Well I would like to agree to disagree
I wish we could meet under a tree
And speak about how you have felt the first time you saw me
And I shall tell you how I was elevated when I saw your beauty shining brighter than the brightest star
