[don't listen to the lies of my compatriot]
OH SIZOBAHLULA THINA NAWA

I saw the Berlin Wall fall
I saw Mandela walk free
I saw a dream whose time has come
Change my history -- so keep on dreaming

Deam on dreamer, dreamer

In the best of times and in the worst of times
gotta keep looking at the skyline
not at a hole in the road
Your time will come, sister, your time will come
nobody's gonna rush history, we have to ease it along
-- just ease it along
