Mandela: Couldn't Heaven Wait?

Merry Christmas, Madiba!

One more Christmas and it may have been right.
Then they could have you and paste you like the stars to the sky.
I know there’s always a first time
So why didn’t heaven single out this moment;
Pick a perdurable person to perform a positive pilot project?
It would have felt right
And we wouldn’t whine
Yeah, it may not have hurt as much to cry.

For once, couldn’t heaven wait?
And couldn’t Christmas floor the pedal and get here ASAP?
How do we trade healing for this hurting?
Silence been pregnant since the exit of Mandela.
They couldn’t slam the door on December, that’s alright.
But couldn’t heaven for once, just hold the damn line?
