Lyrics
Description
Sax & sunrise — Jozi rise
Arp cuts like warning lights, kick beneath the skin. Sax calls out Jozi, waits, let the night fall in. In the heart of Jozi, where the rooftops hum and shine.
Arp lines dancing, kick drum drives the night. Neon gutters, taxi horns answer down the line. Streetlight glint on braai embers, sparks take flight.
Hands up, city breathing, body synced to one beat. Shakers riffle, rim clicks, feet find the street.
Sax & sunrise — Jozi rise
Arp cuts like warning lights, kick beneath the skin. Sax calls out Jozi, waits, let the night fall in. In the heart of Jozi, where the rooftops hum and shine.
Let the sax breathe, let the arp cascade. Drop the words, feel the echo make.
Sax & sunrise — Jozi rise
Call and answer, voices lift, the city chorus grows. Hands paint the air, the night in warm repose.
Sax & sunrise — Jozi rise
Arp cuts like warning lights, kick beneath the skin. Sax calls out Jozi, waits, let the night fall in. In the heart of Jozi, where the rooftops hum and shine.
Sax still hums, a promise and a view. Art fades like force, like cake turned soft and slow. Sax & sunrise in Jozi, forever in the flow.
