MANDELA’S GHOST
SKAITH & JONES

Saw Mandela’s ghost up on Table Mountain
I was wondering what hurts him most, what hits him harder.

Is it the ANC in their limos and palaces
While the townships drown in violence and poverty?
Promises broken.

Saw Mandela’s ghost up on Table Mountain
I was wondering what hurts him most, what hits him harder.

Or does his gaze go long to the West Bank and Gaza
Or the Nation State Law that brings apartheid to life again?
Apartheid to life again.

Saw Mandela’s ghost up on Table Mountain
I was wondering what hurts him most, what hits him harder.

Mandela’s ghost remembering the past
Branded as a terrorist
Mandela’s ghost how long’s it gonna last?
We are led by fools and criminals.

Saw Mandela’s ghost up on Table Mountain
I was wondering what hurts him most, what hits him harder.

Does he despair at London or cry for Washington
Lies of war, a world in flames?
