I have my ideas but would really like to know. Again, it's a awesome song, hear it every day at work during lunch.

I've been listening to this song for years. I especially like to run while listening. I have developed a mental music video for the entire song even though I don't know the meaning of the lyrics. I KNOW THE FEELING OF THIS SONG. Love It! This is one of my FAVORITE songs. I’ve been listening to this song for years. I especially like to run while listening.

In a way that surprised me. So it's interesting to know that it was Hugh Masekela's song. Did it come to the U.S. as an instrumental and then whoever remade it (a one hit wonder) put their own lyrics, or what? what's the story with that?

For one, I'm surrounded by folk who love music and give me so many cds that I really don't want for music to play. BUT I had to buy this particular Hugh Masekela cd. The whole collection just grabbed me n I had to have it. The instrumentals helped me write many of mah papers in grad school.

That was my first true introduction to South African culture. Talented man indeed.
