Mandela Mandela

Weep weep not All you broken hearts Weep weep not My spirit has not departed For I have walked the path of inequality And at the end of my journey of reality I have finally found my own immortality By surpassing all my abilities And the people may say Mandela Mandela Was a man of the people Mandela Mandela Was a man for the people A pillar of potential scope and hope Nearly torn into pieces by life’s ropes For once let us once more replenish his words For the heavens have opened and there stand the Gods In years to come we will taste his struggle against apartheid We will understand the power of forgiveness from those who have lied A man with a mission driven by passion A man with a vision and one formidable goal To bring equality between White and Black A man with bare legs that walked the floors And with rare arms that opened strong iron doors From zero to hero From grass to grace And I may say Weep weep not All you broken hearts Weep weep not For my spirit has not departed Let me take one of your moments Yesterday I came, today I went Now my journey is forever silent And the people may say Mandela Mandela May your soul rest in peace With that one holy kiss!
