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

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
