Stop Waiting For Another Mandela

The whole truth has be illuminated by history
Without learning from the past there’s no victory
We don’t need another 27 years on Robben Island
We don’t need fingerprints of foreign hands
Enough blood has been stained on our flags
When Africa advances wars and fighting, Africa lags
Stop waiting for another Mandela and Sankara
When you have the whole truth and all the answers
