*****
It was twenty five years they take that man away,
But freedom moves him closer every day.
Wipe the tears down from your saddened eye,
They say Mandela's free, so step outside.
Mandela day - Mandela's free.
It was twenty five years ago this very day,
And behind four walls all through the nights and day.
Still the children know the story of that man,
And we know what's going on right through your land.
Twenty five years ago - Mandela day - Mandela's free!
And the tears are flowing, wipe them from your face,
I can feel this heartbeat moving deep inside.
It was twenty five years they took that man away,
And I'm a workin', dancin', hissing', Mandela's free.
Mandela's free.
The rising sun sets Mandela on his way,
It's been twenty five years around this very day.
From the one outside to the ones inside we say:
Mandela's free...........
Set Mandela free..........
Mandela day.............
Mandela's free ............
