Joseph Nkolo is singing tonight And the free spirit deep in his soul will take flight And carry his heart to the moon Some Mozart and Gershwin Tradition and Sting The voices will soar and the rafters will ring And just for this evening he'll feel like a king For Joseph Nkolo is singing. Joseph Nkolo lives life under guard As he pays for this miserable crimes of his youth And he sings as he's walking the exercise yard His voice ringing deep off the stone The harmonies bathe him as warm as the sun And nobody cares what it is he has done When Joseph Nkolo is singing. Stone walls do not a prison make And deep in his heart he is the freest of men His voice was the masterkey no-one can take When Joseph is singing again. When Joseph Nkolo is singing tonight He won't even notice the guards at the door His wife in the front row will hold his gaze tight And he'll sing his heart out for her The applause from this evening will ring in his ears As he sleeps in the cell that he slept in for years For tonight he's Robeson so deep and so clear When Joseph Nkolo is singing.
