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
