Praise song for Nelson Mandela

 

You were peacemaker

A hero in South Africa and around the world

 

You taught us and we learned from you

Fair with people at all times and people loved you

 

You looked at the whole world with the same eye

Knowledge and passion and wisdom

 

You were a long channel for us, brave futures and changing

A candle in the dark tunnel to freedom

 

You revived humaneness in us

Your sunrise continues to warm and spread
