(Song begins with soft, gentle music, perhaps piano or acoustic guitar. Male voice starts, soft and slightly melancholic) (Verse 1 - Male) Die stilte sak neer, soos ‘n kombers van grys, Vandag in die kerk, met ‘n traan in ons almal se oë, gewis. Ons groet vir Connie, ‘n vrou met ‘n hart so rein, Wat haar stryd geveg het, maar die pyn was te fel, te fyn. (Chorus - Female voice joins, harmonizing with male on some parts, stronger and more resonant but still sad) Connie, Connie, jou naam klink sag in die wind, Jou gees nou vry, van die siekte wat jou so hard gebind. Jy’s by familie, wat jy so lank gemis het, daar bo, In ‘n plek van vrede, waar die son altyd glo. (Verse 2 - Female) Ons onthou jou lag, jou glimlag so helder en warm, Jou hande wat altyd gehelp het, teen die storms. Jy was sterk, Connie, so dapper deur die laaste tyd, Al die hospitaal dae, die moed wat jy altyd verbly. (Chorus - Male and Female Harmony) Connie, Connie, jou naam klink sag in die wind, Jou gees nou vry, van die siekte wat jou so hard gebind. Jy’s by familie, wat jy so lank gemis het, daar bo, In ‘n plek van vrede, waar die son altyd glo. (Bridge - Male voice, slightly lower, more personal) Die leemte is groot, ‘n gat in ons harte vandag, Maar ons weet jy ly nie meer nie, geen pyn, geen smag. Jy rus nou in vrede, Connie, jou siel is vry, Ons sal jou onthou, vir altyd, jy sal by ons bly. (Chorus - Female and Male Harmony, slightly more powerful now, with a hint of hope) Connie, Connie, jou naam klink sag in die wind, Jou gees nou vry, van die siekte wat jou so hard gebind. Jy’s by familie, wat jy so lank gemis het, daar bo, In ‘n plek van vrede, waar die son altyd glo. (Outro - Female voice, spoken word, soft and directly to the children) Vir haar kinders, jou seun en dogter... Liefste kinders, jou Ma sê sy is so jammer sy moes so gou gaan. Dit was nie haar keuse nie, maar haar tyd was ryp. Die pyn was te veel om te dra, en sy moes gaan na ‘n plek waar daar net vrede is. Sy wou nie julle verlaat nie, maar sy moes hierdie pyn los. Sy is lief vir julle, altyd, en sy sal altyd oor julle waak van daar bo. (Music fades out slowly.)

[Verse] Saw him in the garden just the other day Picking all the flowers in his gentle way Sun was shining bright and his smile was wide Can't forget the way he looked me in the eye [Verse 2] He danced with the breeze like he'd own the world Whispered sweet nothings to every girl I can't deny the charm it’s really true But what can you do when he’s next to you [Chorus] I wish that I could be like him Living life on a whim not constrained within Every time I see him my thoughts begin Why can't I just be like him [Verse 3] He walks through life like he's got no chains Got the whole town thinking he’s insane But I know there's more behind that cheeky grin A world of wonder hiding deep within [Bridge] He’s got a heart that’s open wide No fear of what’s on the other side Free as a bird he’s soaring high While I stay grounded and wonder why [Chorus] I wish that I could be like him Living life on a whim not constrained within Every time I see him my thoughts begin Why can't I just be like him

Do you think about him when we sleep? Do you ever wish that he were me? I stay awake at night and beat myself down Until I convince myself that I- I will never know if you love me more I will never know if you miss him still I will never know if your feelings are real. I will never know if you love him still It makes sense, we sound the same I often get ,mistook for he You never question why I go mute When he is brought into- I will never know if you love me more I will never know if you miss him still I will never know if your feelings are real. I will never know if you love him still

[Verse] José con Judit pasa sus días Buscando en la rutina Qué ironías Carla lo tiene Bien atado Sufriendo por amores Maltratado [Verse 2] Su pecho arde Un nudo en la garganta Preguntas sin respuesta Un alma que canta Juanjo envía señales Todas confusas La mente de José Una maraña difusa [Chorus] Entre amores cruzados Él navega Esperando la calma Que lo despega El viento sopla Sin rumbo claro José busca paz En este desamparo [Bridge] Judit en silencio Entiende su dolor Carla maneja el juego Sin pudor Juanjo complica el enredo más aún José en su laberinto Bajo la luna y el sol [Verse 3] Las noches se hacen largas Sin respuesta Cada mensaje un eco Que le contesta Pensando en cómo escapar de este embrollo Y recuperar el tiempo Que ha perdido en un hoyo [Chorus] Entre amores cruzados Él navega Esperando la calma Que lo despega El viento sopla Sin rumbo claro José busca paz En este desamparo

[Verse] Well the sun is shinin' on this special day Fifty years of livin' in your own sweet way From a tiny old town to the big city lights You've given me wings to dream and take flight [Verse] Through the ups and downs you're always there With a steady hand and a heart that cares You taught me patience when the road was tough In your eyes I found strength enough [Chorus] Sunshine for Dad brightens up my soul With every step you've made me whole In your shadow I've learned to stand tall Thanks for catching me anytime I'd fall [Verse] Remember when we'd fish at the break of dawn Simple joys in life never felt so strong Your laughter echoing through rugged hills Life with you is full of endless thrills [Verse] As the years go by and the world's a blur Your wisdom stands as a calming whisper From your stories of old to your gentle advice You make every moment feel so nice [Chorus] Sunshine for Dad brightens up my soul With every step you've made me whole In your shadow I've learned to stand tall Thanks for catching me anytime I'd fall
