Inkululelo
Not fear can kill your blazing fire
Even death can't take, oh this pure desire
Like a bird, in the sky, to which the world admire
So much hope, in your heart, there is courage to fly
On the wind, over fear, on your will to try
Not a drop of a doubt, you will soar the sky
More than pain to endure, what is death to die?
And this fear in your soul, will it set you free?
Nor the lies, in your eyes, what is truth to see?
DO NOT FEAR, in the heart, that's the highest decree
Even weak shall be strong if they choose to agree
Like a man, like a king, in defend of his kingdom
A choice is a fight to reclaim peace and its freedom.
NELSON MANDELA.
