Bright Blue

MADIBA
(Song to Nelson Mandela - 1990)

Try to imagine
If no-one was talking it out
A garden of ashes
And the silence all around
Think it over
Think about us all
Madiba, Madiba
There is no other road now
Madiba, Madiba
It has to be

Is there a night without a day?
Can you imagine it's all been for nothing?
Could it be any other way?
Oh no, never, no no

Come to the window
Come see what I'm thinking about
It's all on a razor's edge
And not too much is clear
Think of aching
Think of how it's been
Madiba, Madiba
There is no other road now
Madiba, Madiba
It has to be

Is there a night without a day?
Can you imagine it's all been for nothing?
Could it be any other way?
Oh no, never, no no

Some are so weary
Others, just angry
And some take forever
But I'm ready now
