Madiba

Tree falls winter comes
They wait on the sideline
Timeworn promised land
The whole world’s inconsolable
Madiba ndima ndima
Warrior sleeps
Our fears
Keep the saint alive
To save us another day
Warrior sleeps
There are many more hills to climb
The nostalgia’s holding us still
There are dragons still to be slayed
There are rainbows and moon bows
To be found still
Madiba ndima ndima
Oh hoo
Hamba kahle
Mkhonto Wesizwe
Babo
Hambo lubenokuthula nenzolo
Wasithwala thina
Wasithwala thina
Ungasiyeki mawuwela ngaphesheya
Intliziyo
Intliziyo igcwele luthando
Gcwele luthando Thando Nombulelo
Hamba kahle Mkhonto
Hamba kahle Mkhonto
Mkhonto Wesizwe
Madiba ndima ndima
Hamba kahle Mkhonto Wesizwe
Wolirholihlahla phambili
Hamba kahle Madiba
Madiba ndima ndima
Ndima ndima
Ndiiiima
Dlalile
Hills rambling into the distance
Hiding my portion of peace away
Into the distance
Dare I linger my long walk isn’t ended
Im on my way
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Hamba kahle Mkhonto Wesizwe
Konke kwenzekile umhle umsebenzi wakho
Madiba ndima ndima
Konke kwenzekile umhle wakho
Msebenzi wakho
