Breathe (Mandela Version)

18th of July on the banks of a not-well-known river I started a journey to where I am now Troubled soul, 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 born of sound The songs are in our eyes Gonna wear them like a crown Whoa, yea [Chorus] Walk out into the street Sing your heart out This love will not be beat We're neither down or out There's nothing you have that I need While I can breathe All those who stood together Fist in 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 [Chorus 2] 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 Not while I can breathe [Chorus 3] 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 Not while I can breathe
