Joannasbergs gone quiet mandela he has gone
he has left a legacy so they can soldier on
he fought so hard for freedom to set his people free
white rule overturned mandela made it be
fighting what is right fighting what is wrong
standing by his people and help them to be strong
all the years he spent locked up in a cell
everything he went through in his living hell
he came bouncing back and simply carried on
now the world will miss him now mandelas gone
