Vusi Mahlasela - River Jordan lyrics

Mother mother I saw you cross the river Jordan Mother mamma waam I've been listening to you So close and yet so far away I've never stopped hearing your words Since that Easter morning It is now very clear That the meaning of your last wish for me Revealed my destiny Mother mother I saw you cross the river Jordan With the most positive courage When they washed your feet Your last communion I was there You fell down among us with a smile And lay looking up With the look of another world You departed surrounded by the singing And the praises of the hallelujia Some envied your departure Some came to offer what ever little Comfort they could give
