POWER IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING EMPOWERED

I think of George W Bush when I listen to the lyrics of this song. I wonder what was in the mind of the composer or lyricist who wrote these words.

Weeping sung by Josh Groban with Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Fifteen year old Brittany from Seattle put together this video about South Africa' s apartheid.

I knew a man who lived in fear
It was huge, it was angry,
It was drawing near.
Behind his house a secret place
Was the shadow of the demon
He could never face.

He built a wall of steel and flame
And men with guns to keep it tame
Then standing back he made it plain
That the nightmare would never ever rise again
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round I heard
It slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.

And then one day the neighbors came
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
They stood around outside the wall
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all

"My friends," he said,
"We've reached our goal
The threat is under firm control

As long as peace and order reign
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
