Resurrection Band - Zuid Afrikan lyrics

You cannot ban me
The walls and bars, they cannot hold me in
I am not prisoner, not to
Your policies, your prejudice, your sin
You cannot silence me there are no
Respect for persons in my eyes
But, I can tell you this: if
You live by the sword
By the sword you shall die

Lion, lion, you lay down with the lamb
Or you'll lie on, lie on
And the end will be at hand

You sow mercy, then mercy you shall reap
You sow pain, then pain you will receive
In the rubble of shanties in your land
South African

You look for justice
Then you will seek for me
To know compassion you must know my name
For forgiveness, you must face your shame
Die to live again, oh

Lion, lion, you lay down with the lamb
Or you'll lie on, lie on, and
The end will be at hand, oh

You sow mercy, then mercy you shall reap
You sow pain, then pain you shall receive
In the rubble of shanties in your land
South African

African south African
South African south African

You cannot ban me the walls and the bars
They cannot hold me in
I am not prisoner, not to
Your policies, your prejudice, your sin
You cannot silence me there are no
Respect of persons in my eyes
But, I can tell you this: if
You live by the sword
By the sword then you shall die

You sow mercy, then mercy you shall reap
You sow love, then love you shall receive
Fear me the greatest, for I fear no man
South African
You sow mercy, then mercy you shall reap
You sow love - my love you shall receive
Fear me the greatest, for I fear no man
South African

Mercy you sow mercy
You sow mercy south African
You sow mercy, then mercy you shall reap
You sow love, then love you shall receive
