Hier Teen Jou Lyf
Ray Dylan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hardloop en wegkruip nie
Waar sou ek bly?
Waar sou ek vrede kry ?
En ek wou net nie meer
Ek wou net nie buite beheer wees nie
Ek moes besin
Maar hier teen jou lyf
Is die plek waar ek veilig voel
Die berge kan val en die storms gaan mal
Maar my anker is ek en jy
As my more nooit kom
En die lewe my wegneem van jou my lief
Wil ek hê jy moet weet ek sal wag in die Hemel
Tot jy huis toe kom
Geen woord kan beskryf
Wat ek alles waardeer van jou
Hoe jy na my kyk
En die manier wat jy praat met my
Wat ons het is mooi
Wat ons het is iets om nooit weg te gooi
Vir ewig en altyd is ek hier vir jou tot die einde van my
Maar hier teen jou lyf
Is die plek waar ek veilig voel
Die berge kan val en die storms gaan mal
Maar my anker is ek en jy
As my more nooit kom
En die lewe my wegneem van jou my lief
Wil ek hê jy moet weet ek sal wag in die Hemel
Tot jy huis toe kom
Maar hier teen jou lyf
Is die plek waar ek veilig voel
Die berge kan val en die storms gaan mal
Maar my anker is ek en jy
As my more nooit kom
En die lewe my wegneem van jou my lief
Wil ek hê jy moet weet ek sal wag in die Hemel
Tot jy huis toe kom
Wil ek hê jy moet weet ek sal wag in die Hemel
Tot jy huis toe kom
