Rest in peace tata mandelai
Bow before my fallen kings and prophets of Africa
A man who choseto turn his back on his cheitaincy in other
to emancipate an Africa child
A man who was chosen to be our messiah in times of our
darkness
Yes I am talking about Nelson Mandela, son of the soil still
remember back in the days of apartheid
When agony and gloominess were part of our lives
When freedom was only seen in our dreams
We were told that there is a man
His name Nelson Mandela
He is being kept behind bars
Our freedom will come the day he will come out of prison
He was in prison
But his name was powerful outside
His name brought hope in our lives
Even thou we didn’t know him
But his name was powerful in our lives
We were prepared to die for the name Mandela
Yes I am talking about the day swhen power to the people
Really meant power to the people
But to days it means power to their pockets
We use to sing and dance
Our fist up in the air saying
Oliver Tambo thetha no Botha akhulule umandela, uMandela
uZobusa, akhulule uMandela
We knew our black messiah will come one day
And our freedom will be born yes I am talking about the man
who became the father of the nation
I bow before you my fallen king
A man who showed that love is stronger than hate
A man who manage to keep calm the young lions
When they have lost one of their own (Chris Hani)
War was the solution intheir eyes
But with his magic he manage to show them that hate
He said our time has arrived
Our freedom is here
He was a man and a half
A nation uniter
A love preacher
A peace maker
A son of the great kings and prophets of African
He was a son of soil
