The name of that other song reminds me of a very great person, to which we in South Africa fondly refers to as Madiba. A person I have very great respect for due to the way he profoundly demonstrated how one should love one's enemies and thereby eventually win them over. His name is Nelson Mandela. Just listen to this extract from his inaugural speech as president of South Africa in 1994:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't benefit the world
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us
It's not just some of us - it's in everyone !
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people the permission to do the same
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
