He can finally rest
He payed his dues
He fought for equality
He fought against what
wasn’t right

He spent 27 years in prison
fighting for what was important
At the end of the day he became
the president of South Africa
and what he’d achieved what
he’d been fighting for and now
He can finally rest

I am from good music,
from camping trips and long days
I am from the sight of every sunset
and the smell of Eucalyptus
I am from the smell of fresh Mexican food

I’m from early mornings and cartoons,
I’m from laughing all day
and sleeping all night

I’m from falling asleep on the couch
and mysteriously waking up in my bed
I’m from Gamecube and Windows XP
and the play structure with swings and a
sandbox
