Madiba
Madiba's Liberation: A Dreamer's Triumph Against Darkness
Lyrics
Did you close your eyes or leave them wide
Questioning whether Madiba observed or ignored the unfolding events.
To watch all the terror roll down their spines
Reflecting on the impact of terror on others and the response it evoked.
Did you listen good like they said you should
Asking if Madiba listened attentively as advised.
Did you think it would be forever before your chains got loosed
Contemplating the expectation of lasting oppression before freedom.
Hey hey Madiba the darkness had no place to keep you
Celebrating Madiba's resilience against darkness.
Hey hey Believer the promise and the pain of breakthrough
Acknowledging the challenges and rewards of belief and breakthrough.
Just a dreamer
Describing Madiba as a dreamer.
Akavumanga bembethela bembethela bembethela
Repetition, possibly emphasizing overcoming challenges (Akavumanga...).
Akazange aguqe
Suggesting that Madiba's defeat was never expected.
Did you curl your legs they went from brown to red
Describing physical changes and hardships (legs turning red).
Like some cursed amoeba a dirty floor your bed
Portraying a difficult living condition.
Did they call you Nelson with their tongues of poison
Referring to Madiba as Nelson, highlighting the negativity surrounding him.
The black man deceiver the prophet rejoicing
Labeling Madiba as a deceiver and a rejoicing prophet, reflecting conflicting views.
Hey hey Madiba the darkness had no place to keep you
Reiterating Madiba's triumph over darkness.
Hey hey Believer the promise and the pain of breakthrough
Repeating the theme of belief, promise, and the pain of breakthrough.
Just a dreamer
Reiterating Madiba as a dreamer.
Hey hey Madiba the darkness had no place to keep you
Emphasizing Madiba's victory over darkness.
Hey hey Believer the promise and the pain of breakthrough
Repeating the theme of belief, promise, and the pain of breakthrough.
Just a dreamer
Reiterating Madiba as a dreamer.
Between the bite in the teeth of the law
Describing the challenges posed by the legal system.
You came into our night with the dawn
Highlighting Madiba's positive impact as a new beginning.
And the crusade we speared through your skin
Describing the struggles endured for a noble cause.
Your life for the trade to let loving begin
Expressing the sacrifice of Madiba's life for the greater good.
Hey hey Madiba the darkness had no place to keep you
Reiterating Madiba's triumph over darkness.
Hey hey Believer the promise and the pain of breakthrough
Repeating the theme of belief, promise, and the pain of breakthrough.
Just a dreamer
Reiterating Madiba as a dreamer.
Just a dreamer
Affirming Madiba's identity as a dreamer.
