           Verse 1      Sing this song of praise for Mandela
                              Strong and brave this man
                              Peace and justice for South Africa
                              Long was his fight to save this land

            Verse 2      Years in prison there was Mandela
                              Heart and mind still free
                              Liberation for South Africa
                              Freedom for all ..with dignity

 Bridge.....Faith deep inside gave strength to his cause
                The world...wanting to see...him go free...it would be
                 Father of the Nation that was he
                 Madiba they called him........Mandela

             Verse 3         Liberty the call..from Mandela

              Verse 4        Love was felt by all from Mandela
                                  Kind and Bold and Wise
                                  A new beginning for South Africa

                   Faith deep inside gave strength to his cause
                   The world...wanting to see ...him go free....victory
                   Father of the Nation that was he
                   Madiba they called him.......Mandela
