john edmond - the spirit is strong lyrics
he was just an ailing boy
seventeen – no more
went away to cotton fields
upon a distant sh0r-
he was weak
but he was strong
within his will and mind
he was loved by everyone
each color, creed, and kind
even the people that were picking the cotton said;
“mm, the spirit is strong.”
yes, the people that were picking the cotton said;
“mm, the spirit is strong.”
heard of diamonds on the west
he could see them glow
bright and shining in his hand
he knew he had to go
jack of spades
to king of diamonds
born to lead the land
sweet charisma of the soul
is the magic of the man
even the people that were digging the diamonds said;
“mm, the spirit is strong.”
yes, the people that were digging the diamonds said;
“mm, the spirit is strong.”
the his eyes were turning north
england in his mind
shan’t be long to cairo now
one long railroad line
there were impis making war
to stop him they would k!ll
but he conquered them with words
and the power of his will
even the people that were making the war said;
“mm, the spirit is strong.”
yes, the people that were making the war said;
“mm, the spirit is strong.”
when the end was near he said
take me to my north
leave me in a simple grave
each stone of mother earth
he did not want the abbey’s splendor
epithaphs in gold –
just alone on matopos hill
where one could view the world
even the people who visit the hill say;
“mm, the spirit is strong.”
yes, the people who visit the hill say;
“mm, the spirit is strong.”
