Madiba Has Gone

In him 
We had a brother
A father
In long walk
In long walk 
We had a hero
with fears
with tears
We had brave man
In our- cowards'
Days
We had bright face
In the dark of nights
We had his grace
Of heart
In agony of hates
We had his faith
In rages of miseries
In moments
Of doubts
A servant for his nation
We had

Madiba has gone
And past
In peace

Mandela
What he gave
For nation great
dreams in future
In peace

Madiba has gone
And past in peace
As a king
Crowned in his nation

What You were standing for
We will fight for
Anti evils of man
For peace
we will fight for
Son of Africa
Father for his nation

Lay in peace
Man who changed
the course of time
With faith
Nelson Mandela
The wise MAN REST IN PEACE
