Mandela Day (Remastered 2002) - 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 Mandela day

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 Mandela day

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 Mandela's free

The rising suns sets Mandela on his way

It's been 25 years around this very day

From the one outside to

The ones inside we say

Oh Mandela's free

Oh set Mandela free

Na Mandela day

Na Mandela's free

25 years ago

What's going on

And we know what's going on

Because we know what's going on
