Shawn Kimuli - Mandela lyrics

Verse 1

From the Nile to the Sahara

Across the forests of Congo

Remember how you helped walk home free

From the Pyramids to the Table Mountain

Our children rose from dust

The past is past and what was lost is in house

Winds of change on Africa-away

The spirit- of peace came like rain

From equal rights, and justice now comes grace

We love you, We love you

Chorus

Mzee Mandela

Son Of Africa

This Is a Song For You

Umkhonto We Sizwe

Nelson Mandela

Utata Madiba

Siyabonga Kakhulu Obaba

Interlude Yimba nawe x

Verse 2

From the Everest to Rwenzori

And the Taj Mahal they know your name

Because you fought for bread and salt for all

From Niagara ni-ah-gruh to Himalaya

Across the Great Wall of China

Freedom spread from Sydney to the Victoria Falls

There were days when we couldn't speak

In our homes dreams were destroyed

Now we raise our flags and nations (sing-x)

This song, of victory on our side

Repeat Chorus

Interlude Yimba nawe x

Interlude

You walked- that long road to freedom

Saw the Sun beyond the dusk

It wasn't easy but you prayed

We remember, We remember

Mzee Mandela (Mzee Mandela)x4

Repeat main chorus

Interlude Yimba nawe x
