"Mandela Day" Lyrics
simple minds
- It was 25 years they take that man away
- Now the freedom moves in closer every day
- Wipe the tears down from your saddened eyes
- They say Mandela's free so step outside
- Oh oh oh oh Mandela day
- Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free
- It was 25 years ago this very day
- Held behind four walls all through night and day
- Still the children know the story of that man
- And I know what's going on right through your land
- 25 years ago
- Na na na na Mandela day
- Oh oh oh Mandela's free
- If the tears are flowing wipe them from your face
- I can feel his heartbeat moving deep inside
- It was 25 years they took that man away
- And now the world come down say Nelson Mandela's free
- Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free
- The rising suns sets Mandela on his way
- Its been 25 years around this very day
- From the one outside to the ones inside we say
- Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free
- Oh oh oh set Mandela free
- Na na na na Mandela day
- Na na na na Mandela's free
- 25 years ago
- What's going on
- And we know what's going on
- Cos we know what's going on
