| Oh what a dream, Oh what a story
|
| Don’t have to weep, Come and enjoy a smile
|
| Opening scene is just like a doorway
|
| Here’s a story, in rhythm and rhyme
|
| There is a tree on the street and in the forest
|
| Lavender dream whispered a poet
|
| Bright potpourri. |
| The envy of orchids
|
| When it’s dressed in a pink and fuchsia twine
|
| Jacaranda tree and the Bougainvillea vine
|
| Oh Mandela, that garden that you made
|
| Is a vision of the prayer, you must’ve been prayin' everyday
|
| Sweet Azaleas, every color every kind
|
| And the first and the last are all divine
|
| There is a dream of the trees and of the flowers
|
| There is a season of peace at the borderline…
|
| Where we’re redeemed and history will crown us
|
| Jacaranda tree and Bougainvillea vine
|
| Oh Mandela, would you say that it’s alright?
|
| When the children play they always say, they say that we were like
|
| Cinderella, in your garden there’s a shrine
|
| To the first and the last they’re all divine
|
| One and all, big and small, a common birth
|
| Each and every child for all his worth
|
| Take the one who’s always last and make him first
|
| Take these seeds. |
| Seed the earth
|
| OUTRO:
|
| Comin' along
|
| Oh what a long way we have come
|
| Comin' along
|
| Makin' a home for everyone
|
| Comin' along, way down South in Africa
|
| Look at (Study) the Jacaranda tree huggin' the Bougainvillea
|
| REPEAT OUTRO X 4 |
