Thyeo Croft - Mandela Madiba lyrics

(VOICE REVERB) This is a celebration of life Of a great man who is no more The great, baobab tree that has fallen This is a celebration of life in itself! VERSE 1 Countless are the leaders of the world we’ve lost Yet your demise is hard to take It is as if it is our first Oh! Oh! Oh! Mandela VERSE 2 Countless are the African leaders we’ve lost Yet your demise is hard to take It is as if it is our first Oh! Oh! Oh! Mandela We mourned we cried we wailed Distune, pitch less our tone We mourned we cried we wailed [2 X] The sun will rise tomorrow The next day and the next But it won’t be as bright as yesterday [2 X] CHORUS: [Mandela Mandela Mandela Mandela] [Backing vocals] Ooohhh! Mandela.. Son of Africa! Ooohhh! Mandela.. Son of liberty Oh! Mandela! Mandela! Mandela! Mandela! Mandela! Mandela! Mandela! Mandela! Mandelaaaaaa! [Saxophone interlude] Mandeeeela.. Son of Africa! Mandeeeeela.. Son of Unity! [2 X] [Vocal epilogue] In every tribe, in every nation Once will arise a leader Makers of history when they lead This is a tribute to the great tree that has fallen Ooohhh! Mandela.. Son of Africa! Ooohhh! Mandela.. Son of liberty Oooh! Madiba! Ma-Madibia! Oh Madiba! Ooooh Madiba! Madibia! Madiba! [FADE OUT]
