BREATHE  (Mandela Version-Acoustic)


18th July
On the banks of a not well known river
I started a journey to where I am now
Troublesoul troublemaker
Guided by the drums of my creator
Towards a rhythm and rhyme
A melody line of a song called freedom
Which once heard will never leave your head

We are people borne of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown
Walk out into the street
Sing your heart out
This Love it can´t be beat
We´re neither down or out
There´s nothing you have that I need
While I can breathe
Breathe
While I can breathe

All those who stood together
Fist in the air now know this
That real division is not a scar on the land
But in the heart of every man who began
As a kiss not to resist a knotted fist
Now an open hand, an open face, an open page
Where history might rewrite its rage

And the life you get to live
Is the one you give away
To forget who to forgive is a good thing
Walk out into the street
Sing your heart out
His love will not be beat
Neither down or out
There´s nothing you have that I need
While I can breathe
Breathe
While I can breathe

Walk out into the street
Sing your heart out
This Love will not be beat
Neither down or out
There´s nothing you have that I need
While I can breathe
Breathe
While I can breathe
