The Spirit is Strong |
He was just an ailing boy |
Seventeen — no more |
Went away to cotton fields |
Upon a distant shore |
He was weak |
But he was strong |
Within his will and mind |
He was loved by everyone |
Each color, creed, and kind |
Even the people that were picking the cotton said; |
«Mm, the Spirit is Strong.» |
Yes, the people that were picking the cotton said; |
«Mm, the Spirit is Strong.» |
Heard of diamonds on the West |
He could see them glow |
Bright and shining in his hand |
He knew he had to go |
Jack of Spades |
To King of Diamonds |
Born to lead the land |
Sweet charisma of the soul |
Is the magic of the man |
Even the people that were digging the diamonds said; |
«Mm, the Spirit is Strong.» |
Yes, the people that were digging the diamonds said; |
«Mm, the Spirit is Strong.» |
The his eyes were turning North |
England in his mind |
Shan’t be long to Cairo now |
One long railroad line |
There were Impis making war |
To stop him they would kill |
But he conquered them with words |
And the power of his Will |
Even the people that were making the war said; |
«Mm, the Spirit is Strong.» |
Yes, the people that were making the war said; |
«Mm, the Spirit is Strong.» |
When the end was near he said |
Take me to my North |
Leave me in a simple grave |
Each stone of Mother Earth |
He did not want the Abbey’s splendor |
Epithaphs in gold — |
Just alone on Matopos Hill |
Where one could view the world |
Even the people who visit the hill say; |
«Mm, the Spirit is Strong.» |
Yes, the people who visit the hill say; |
«Mm, the Spirit is Strong.» |
