Celebrate! The freedom of Mandela Celebrate! Celebrate today On the 11th day of February 1990 I was glad to be alive and able to see Nelson Mandela walking proud and free After 27 years in captivity In this world we're living in so many things are changing People are now fighting for what they believe in Hand in hand woman and man march against the system And their telling all their leaders to do the right thing yeah Do the right thing, do the right thing (come on) Do the right thing, world leaders, do the right thing Amandla (power to the people) Amandla awe tu! Now the struggle isn't over no the struggle's just begun
And the fight against apart-hate must go on & on & on 'Cause equal rights and justice should apply to everyone And if it don't then there is something definitely wrong So freedom fighters near and far make room cause here I come And I ain't gonna stop ain't gonna give it up until the battle's won We want black and white to all unite together as one 'cause united we stand but divided we are done So all South Africans come on hear me when I sing 'cause my message to all of you is never give in In the fight against evil goodness will win And if you agree then you are free to join in and celebrate
