He has done it, lived life abundant
Meyiwa has not fallen, such talent

He has done it, remember that comment
Sprung with shooting star brilliance, a comet
Snatched victory from jaws of defeat
Said a sports anchor but these words won't befit

Meyiwa has not fallen, he rose against all odds
Stood the last defense line until there was none left but the gods

He has done it  
Lead a triumphant life out of skeletons of the dead
Fired up the squadron to sail turbulent currents, a true sea conqueror's head

Captain of a ship that carries hopes of sowetans and mzansi multitudes
Defended nation's dignity with his spirit and a never say die attitude

Senzo meyiwa, deeds never fall
Soul stands tall and keep heaven's gates open
So unfair yet we do not despair, we look to you to mend heart's broken

Your life will not be in vain
As we go through this pain you inspire a purpose to find healing again

Rest in peace Senzo Meyiwa (24/09/1987 - 26/10/2014)
