[00:00:19] Oh what a dream oh what a story

[00:00:23] Don't have to weep come and enjoy a smile

[00:00:29] Opening scene is just like a doorway

[00:00:33] Here's a story in rhythm and rhyme

[00:00:38] There is a tree on the street and in the forest

[00:00:43] Lavender dream whispered a poet

[00:00:48] Bright potpourri the envy of orchids

[00:00:53] When it's dressed in a pink and fuchsia twine

[00:00:57] Jacaranda tree and the bougainvillea vine

[00:01:02] Oh Mandela that garden that you made

[00:01:07] Is a vision of the prayer you

[00:01:10] Must've been prayin' everyday

[00:01:12] Sweet azaleas every color every kind

[00:01:17] And the first and the last are all divine

[00:01:32] There is a dream of the trees

[00:01:34] And of the flowers

[00:01:36] There is a season of peace at the borderline

[00:01:41] Where we're redeemed

[00:01:43] And history will crown us

[00:01:46] Jacaranda tree and bougainvillea vine

[00:01:51] Oh Mandela would you say that it's alright

[00:01:56] When the children play they always say

[00:01:58] They say that we were like

[00:02:00] Cinderella in your garden there's a shrine

[00:02:06] To the first and the last they're all divine

[00:02:12] One and all big and small a common birth

[00:02:17] Each and every child for all his worth

[00:02:22] Take the one who's always last

[00:02:24] And make him first

[00:02:27] Take these seeds seed the earth

[00:03:04] Comin' along

[00:03:06] Oh what a long way we have come

[00:03:08] Comin' along

[00:03:10] Makin' a home for everyone

[00:03:13] Comin' along way down South in Africa

[00:03:18] Look at the jacaranda tree

[00:03:20] Huggin' the bougainvillea

[00:03:23] Comin' along

[00:03:25] Oh what a long way we have come

[00:03:27] Comin' along

[00:03:30] Makin' a home for everyone

[00:03:32] Comin' along way down South in Africa

[00:03:37] Look at the jacaranda tree

[00:03:39] Huggin' the bougainvillea

[00:03:42] Comin' along

[00:03:44] Oh what a long way we have come

[00:03:47] Comin' along

[00:03:49] Makin' a home for everyone

[00:03:52] Comin' along way down South in Africa

[00:03:56] Look at the jacaranda tree

[00:03:59] Huggin' the bougainvillea

[00:04:01] Comin' along

[00:04:04] Oh what a long way we have come

[00:04:06] Comin' along

[00:04:09] Makin' a home for everyone

[00:04:11] Comin' along way down South in Africa

[00:04:15] Look at the jacaranda tree

[00:04:18] Huggin' the bougainvillea

[00:04:21] Comin' along

[00:04:23] Oh what a long way we have come

[00:04:25] Comin' along

[00:04:28] Makin' a home for everyone

[00:04:30] Comin' along way down South in Africa

[00:04:35] Look at the jacaranda tree

[00:04:38] Huggin' the bougainvillea
