about

KASHTS (Kwabeng Anglican Senior High Technical School) is the amazing school I went on an exchange trip to during June 2010 (when the world cup was on)

lyrics

I know I don't call you as much as I should do.
But it's not because I don't love you,
And it's not because I forgot.

I know I never finished writing those letters.
But it's not because I don't miss you,
And it's not that I don't care.

This is a song for KASHTS.
For general arts and ceramic pots, and bare-foot football in the rain.

This is a song for KASHTS.
For fresh cocoa beans and fufu, and George's house, down by the lake. [it was actually a pond but for the sake of rhyme].

This is a song for KASHTS.
For worn out sandals and Djembes, and the yellow school bus, driving down through the dusty plains. Picking criminals up on the way. [true story].

I know I never said good-bye,
But it's not because I don't love you,
It's cause I meant it.
It's cause I mean it.
