Saturday morning around 3 am,
Yes I still remember the day and time
Though it has been 4 years now.

It was my first visit to South Africa and
I was ready to explore my dream land.
The moment I arrived at Beitbridge border post
I could see that the other side of the bridge was
Really different from where I was coming from.

New and neatly worn uniforms by the South African officials
Were a clear sign to me that my dreams where going to come true
Because all I wished for after completing high school
Was to work in South Africa, so everything was happening like a dream.

Zimbabwean side they stamped my passport so fast without delay
Because it was still new, South African side it took a while
‘Cause they really wanted to check if all was well before
Giving me access to pass this bridge of hope.

And everything else happened so fast, and time flew by till I clocked 4 years.
