Si Sikelel' Iafrika Up Above

Si Sikelel' iAfrika Up above Our friend of the world is gone He's with the Gods above with love His struggle carries on for peace Free the people, war must cease Some politicians played him down Others supported his human cause Just lock him away for another day In a prison cell our hero did stay They tortured his body in that cruel way His spirit untouched he showed the way Madiba we love you, you're here to stay Your spirit is with us every day Goodbye our friend of peace Free the people, war must cease We'll meet again in love We'll sing Si Sikelel' iAfrika up above Our friend of the people is gone He's with the Gods above with love Gerrard McGeachy
