It was 25 years they take that man away Now the freedom moves in closer every day Wipe the tears down from your saddened eyes They say Mandela's free so step outside Oh oh oh oh Mandela day Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free
It was 25 years ago this very day Held behind four walls all through night and day Still the children know the story of that man And I know what's going on right through your land
