You stood unbroken through the darkest night, A voice of courage, a hand of light. The chains were heavy, the walls were tall, But still you rose above it all. You taught the world to dream again, To rise in love, not live in pain. Madiba, Mandela, your spirit shines, Across the oceans, across all times. A heart unbound, a soul so true, The world remembers because of you. You walked for justice, you spoke for peace, Your strength eternal, it will never cease. From Robben Island to the nation’s song, You proved that love is always strong. Your name’s a flame the night can’t hide, Your legacy will never die. Madiba, Mandela, your spirit shines, Across the oceans, across all times. A heart unbound, a soul so true, The world remembers because of you. Uhuru ni wetu, moyo wako unaishi, (Freedom is ours, your heart still lives) Uhuru ni wetu, jina lako halitakufa, (Freedom is ours, your name will never die) Madiba, Mandela, your spirit shines, Across the oceans, across all times. From every voice, from every land, We walk in freedom hand in hand.
