Net 'n Mens
Nicholis Louw Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ek's net 'n mens (Ek's net 'n mens)
Ek kry ook seer (Ek kry ook seer)
En ek kan voel jou woorde vloei sag oor my
En heel my weer

Ek's net 'n mens (Ek's net 'n mens)
Wat bly probeer (Wat bly probeer)
En jy bly saam by my deur die moeilike tye
En ek waardeer
Jou meer en meer

Keer op keer as ek verdwaal dan weet ek jy's die een
Wat my kom haal
So lank as wat ek asemhaal is jy die een die heel en al
Van my verhaal
En elke keer al kry ek seer is jy weer daar om moed te gee
Ja dit weet ek
Daar's rede vir die storms ons kan saam die winters deurmaak
Net jy en ek

Ek's net 'n mens (Ek's net 'n mens)
Ek kry ook seer (Ek kry ook seer)
En ek kan voel jou woorde vloei sag oor my
En heel my weer

Ek's net 'n mens (Ek's net 'n mens)
Wat bly probeer (Wat bly probeer)
En jy bly saam by my deur my moeilike tye
En ek waardeer

Ek's net 'n mens (Ek's net 'n mens)
Ek kry ook seer (Ek kry ook seer)
En ek kan voel jou woorde vloei sag oor my
En heel my weer

Ek's net 'n mens (Ek's net 'n mens)
Wat bly probeer (Wat bly probeer)
En jy bly saam by my deur die moeilike tye

En ek waardeer
Jou meer en meer
