MANDELA MADIBA
words & music by
Phil Morrison
(Bass line intro - 8 bars)
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
(Bass line interlude - 8 bars)
(solo)
(interlude)
Verse 3
Liberty the call..from Mandela
Apartheid must go
Racial justice in South Africa
Our one human family will show
Verse 4
Love was felt by all from Mandela
Kind and Bold and Wise
A new beginning for South Africa
....He won The Nobel Peace Prize
Faith deep inside gave strength to his cause
The world...wanting to see ...him go free....victory
Loved by the world eternally
Madiba they called him...Mandela
