Lyrics

It was twenty five 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 twenty five 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.

Twenty five years 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 twenty five 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.
It’s been twenty five 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.

Twenty five years ago.
What’s going on?
And we know what’s going on.
Cos we know what’s going on.
