Son of Madiba (Tribute To Nelson Mandela)

Who are you to dream of chains And yet proclaim of victory How do you lie in chains And yet stand in liberty When do you pay a debt That must be paid What makes you forgive a debt That must be forgave In a time of hostility With the trembles of an oncoming war You held it in and did not cry As long before Your face remained Lifted toward the sky Your fire within made you an enemy Yet a much needed ally Your words gave peace to those deeply wounded By the treacheries of man Your joy gave hope a new mission Thus hope called love again Love answered And summoned faith to come Faith remembered your prayer And gave birth to freedom
