Nelson Mandela is his name

I live in a country of apartheid
Where white torment all others
I am the only one alive
Killed, are my brothers

There is no peace
Ruined is my life
The Englishmen won't care
They just create racial strife

Who will help me
When I have no right?
Who will help us all
Who will stand up and fight?

And then, a legend is born
The man who will end this discrimination
The man who will give us freedom
Soon, free will be our nation

He is ready to go to jail
And face all the pain
I know, that his determination,
Will not go in vain

I too support this man,
What he is doing is no game
It takes courage to fight those whites
Nelson Mandela is his name

And now when we are free
I look back and say
Thank you Mandela, for what you did
It is because of you, we are, what we are today

It is your birthday today Mandela
And I wish you the same
The man who gave us freedom
Nelson Mandela is his name
