They called on the winds of change to free
their people from the white man's chains,
spreading the word across the African plains.
So we're told.
Righteous and strong, they carried on,
raising their voices in freedom's song,
unrelenting till the scourge is gone.
So we're told.
So we're told.
Then came a man to show the way,
like the lion, strong and brave,
Mandela imposing the beacon of change.
So we're told.
Never forget the sins of men,
so this injustice never happens again.
Let us share this prayer, my friends.
So we're told.
So we're told.
So we're told.
