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.
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
