Breathe (Mandela Version) - U2

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

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

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

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
