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 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 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 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 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
