A place I once did live
As a child full of joy and play
Happy memories flood back
Though with added tears
But memories overshadow
A place I once did live
With solid cores of sadness
A secret domain of poverty
Death stories - just a slice
Of a childβs pure innocence
A place I once did live
This home I knew, in reverse
Lake Malawi full of beauty
A lake to hold all the woes
Yet they all dance and smile
A place I once did live
