Christo Williams, Ottery
You will rise from the dust
Move out of the shadows
It’s your time to shine
You will stem roots in the mud
Grow tall on uneven ground
Cape Flats Child
Go higher despite the storm
Your dream doesn’t have to die
Cape Flats Child
Exhale those fumes of unworthiness
Life for you is not worthless neither meaningless
You can go from the bottom step to centre stage
Cape Flats Child
You’ve seen blood flow, all the heroes in your life go
It’s hard to say no when gangsterism, drugs poverty is all you know
Cape Flats Child
Remove that label you won’t be part of the status quo
Lift your head listen to me, this is not your end
Cape Flats Child
They call you many things
But today we call you set aside from the rest,
you have it in you to do your very best
Cape Flats Child
I can you are blessed
