Jacaranda Bougainvillea |
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 |
