The Messenger |
| Nelson |
| People love you |
| Cos your message is strong |
| So let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s sing to the messenger |
| The message |
| That you delivered |
| Told us how we should be |
| We should treat each other |
| As we would be treated |
| Oooh Oooh Oooh |
| You are admired for your enviable strength |
| The forgiving heart you showed to the world |
| You faced the demons of oppression with grace |
| Freed a nation through unparallelled love |
| Now your celebratory moon has risen |
| Your name will live on in history |
| With many more you fought for the freedom |
| That’s given like breath at the time of our birth |
| Yea Madiba |
| Madiba |
| Mandela |
| Nelson |
| People love you |
| Cos your message is strong |
| So let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s sing to the messenger |
| Yea |
| People love you |
| Cos your message is strong |
| So let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s sing to the messenger |
| The pimpernel |
| A saint or an icon |
| Whatever name is given to you |
| You bear each one with great humility |
| But Nelson Mandela says all about you |
| Yea Madiba |
| Madiba |
| Mandela |
| Nelson |
| People love you |
| Cos your message is strong |
| So let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s sing to the messenger |
| Yea |
| People love you |
| Cos your message is strong |
| So let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s sing to the messenger |
| People love you |
| Cos your message is strong |
| So let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s raise our voices |
| Let’s sing to the messenger |
