Written by:Al Jarreau/Freddie Ravel/Joe Turano/Chris Walker/Ross Bolton/Arno Lucas/Jose Morelli[00:00:07]
Oh what a dream oh what a story[00:00:19]
Don't have to weep come and enjoy a smile[00:00:23]
Opening scene is just like a doorway[00:00:29]
Here's a story in rhythm and rhyme[00:00:33]
There is a tree on the street and in the forest[00:00:38]
Lavender dream whispered a poet[00:00:43]
Bright potpourri the envy of orchids[00:00:48]
When it's dressed in a pink and fuchsia twine[00:00:53]
Jacaranda tree and the bougainvillea vine[00:00:57]
Oh Mandela that garden that you made[00:01:02]
Is a vision of the prayer you[00:01:07]
Must've been prayin' everyday[00:01:10]
Sweet azaleas every color every kind[00:01:12]
And the first and the last are all divine[00:01:17]
There is a dream of the trees[00:01:32]
And of the flowers[00:01:34]
There is a season of peace at the borderline[00:01:36]
Where we're redeemed[00:01:41]
And history will crown us[00:01:43]
Jacaranda tree and bougainvillea vine[00:01:46]
Oh Mandela would you say that it's alright[00:01:51]
When the children play they always say[00:01:56]
They say that we were like[00:01:58]
Cinderella in your garden there's a shrine[00:02:00]
To the first and the last they're all divine[00:02:06]
One and all big and small a common birth[00:02:12]
Each and every child for all his worth[00:02:17]
Take the one who's always last[00:02:22]
And make him first[00:02:24]
Take these seeds seed the earth[00:02:27]
Comin' along[00:03:04]
Oh what a long way we have come[00:03:06]
Comin' along[00:03:08]
Makin' a home for everyone[00:03:10]
Comin' along way down South in Africa[00:03:13]
Look at the jacaranda tree[00:03:18]
Huggin' the bougainvillea[00:03:20]
Comin' along[00:03:23]
Oh what a long way we have come[00:03:25]
Comin' along[00:03:27]
Makin' a home for everyone[00:03:30]
Comin' along way down South in Africa[00:03:32]
Look at the jacaranda tree[00:03:37]
Huggin' the bougainvillea[00:03:39]
Comin' along[00:03:42]
Oh what a long way we have come[00:03:44]
Comin' along[00:03:47]
Makin' a home for everyone[00:03:49]
Comin' along way down South in Africa[00:03:52]
Look at the jacaranda tree[00:03:56]
Huggin' the bougainvillea[00:03:59]
Comin' along[00:04:01]
Oh what a long way we have come[00:04:04]
Comin' along[00:04:06]
Makin' a home for everyone[00:04:09]
Comin' along way down South in Africa[00:04:11]
Look at the jacaranda tree[00:04:15]
Huggin' the bougainvillea[00:04:18]
Comin' along[00:04:21]
Oh what a long way we have come[00:04:23]
Comin' along[00:04:25]
