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. 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 the jacaranda tree huggin' the bougainvillea
