lyrics

Mr Mandela:

Chorus:

Mr Mandela
Your one hell of a fella
I wana be like you
I wana be like you
Mr Madiba
The world Really Needs ya
I wana be like you
I wana be like you

Mr Mandela your one hell of a fella and I wana be like you
You fought the war of peace and still smiled after all that you been through
White persecution of the poor the black the brown man me and you
You rise above retaliation
Cos that’s what you do
And Robin Island had no palm trees or bikinis on the sand
Your freedom stolen by the totsis manipulating on mainland
But when you whispered words the world could hear you breathin too
Then you embraced our enemy
Cos that’s what you do

You caused a revolution, revolution , revolution
But new that violence was destructive and not a solution
You positivity it crushed the racist institution
And gave us dignity despite the years of persecution
And we all went to vote like bumble bees on honey trees
From Santon to Soweto we were proud and we were pleased
And when you raised your fists and used the word let freedom rain
The world became a better place
Because of your name
