Long Walk To Freedom

,We the nation that survived 
discrimination building a 
civilization brand new evolution 
94 new birth welcome to earth    
You fought for our freedom 27 
years in prison coz u had a 
vision of a united nation 
without the separation or 
discrimination  of race now we 
able to embrace with ur grace 
and u deserve to be praised 
wasn't easy for u for the 
things u went threw I can't 
rem the time or what u do but 
I rem u say that its all for u 
,the pillar of the country 
strength of the nation 
accusation that they convicted 
u were innocent in a situation 
a united nation what u fought 
for peace to the core is what u 
are u blead for the dead even 
thou ur bed was a concrete 
slab  they made u sleep on 
the floor till u cudnt take no 
more watching as the waves 
clashed the shore in robbin 
island u never hated or 
retaliated u took it in smile 
always kept ur head up and 
moved forward till 1994 u rose 
up from floor opened a new 
door to the fellow sA brand 
new leader 1st black president 
who was her to represent the 
entire human race with a 
smile and embrace the 
greatest leader ever lived I 
wonder if u ever had doubt if 
u thought u ever be the 
greatest profecy and a ever 
lasting legacy I can't imagine 
what they put u threw since 
they didn't have a clue what u 
were trying to do and u saved 
our life from sacrafice 94 
years olD and u still going 
strong I wana be like u but I 
can do what u did so we tAke 
our hats off to be proud to be 
a south african and living with 
a hero like u and u nelson 
mandela we praise u we follow 
u we love you for what u went 
threw what u did do and u 
knew we would be free some 
day and we pay that u stay in 
our hearts forever and wen 
we think abt the stormy 
weather we realise to the 
point of suprize its a picture 
perfect moment at this very 
moment this song is to remind 
the fellow sa that u made it 
possible a strong man with a 
plan who took a stan and I'm 
ur num 1 fan mr mandela
