2. When the sun sets people return to their places
of abode weary and tired, hungry and thirsty
after toiling all day long.
3. When the sun sets the birds stop singing the
toads start croaking the butterflies cease
flying, it’s time for the moth to fly.
4. The hot tiring wind is replaced with the cool
refreshing breeze of the night
Then its time to reflect on the days success and
failures before finally laying the head to rest.
5. At sunset little children are excited it’s time to listen
to new tales, it’s time to play under the moonlight and
catch the little moth that flies round the fire.
6. The African woman, the pride of the African home, she
sits by the fire with her children round her gently she
tells them tales which she was told at childhood
Gently she teaches them to be wise, always to be good
because good always overcome evil
7. Sunrise, sunset who knows what the next
sunrise will bring, maybe I’ll never see the next
sunrise.
8. As the sun rises and sets, Father! Let my heart always be
prepared so that when the sun finally sets on me, I will
come home to take my rest in Your right arm where
there will neither be sunrise nor sunset.
