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 is 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 will receive
In the rubble
Of shanties in your land

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 is no respect for persons in my eyes
But I 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 (x2)
South African
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
