original cast of mandela - taken lyrics

[warden]
most dangerous man you’ll ever see
that’s what they said to me
a savage criminal who wants to throw other people to the sea
don’t ever let him get the upper hand
don’t forget your duty to your land
remember what these terrorists have planned
we must withstand
withstand
what i’ve seen
all this time
my own eyes, nothing that they’ve said to me is true
’cause everything i’ve seen from you has shaken
has shaken what i thought i knew
how could i not see through all the lies
they sent me here to look you in the eyes
to face the enemy
keep in place the scum they see
and throw away the key
well i must face what i have come to see
a father who tries
to hide from his family
that he cries
a man we wouldn’t let say goodbye when his own son dies
a husband who [?]
for every letter i have blacked out with lines
a man we’ve been told has so much hate
and yet shows no signs
how could i so coldly comply
all this time
and just turn a blind eye
taken me so long to realize
and see through all the lies just how mistaken
we are mistaken about you
everything you’ve done and you have shown
means everything i’ve ever known about you all along
has proven to be wrong
how can i now still allow myself to hate
thinking of you as our enemy
when i see a man who won’t allow himself to hate
despite what we’ve taken
so much we have taken
from you
and you
you’re still here
[spoken]
yeah, i know
it’s time for me to change

[sung]
for me to change
my way
