Mandela, Mandela

When will they set you free?

Why it has taken so long is a mystery

Oh, we've got the power to help in your hour of need

When will they do what is right so the world can see?

I know we can do it

We can make a difference

We've got to come to it

'Cause it just don't make no sense

I'm tired of talking

There has got to be a way

For the people

Freedom's gonna come someday

Mandela, Mandela

Freedom's on the way

Mandela

Sing it up, sing it up, sing it up, sing it

Mandela, Mandela

Mandela

Mandela, Mandela

What do they got from you?

There's nothing more you can give, nothing more to do

Oh, we thought our three are the first who should see your pride

All that I'm asking is time to just do what's right

Mandela, Mandela

Mandela

Sing with all your heart

Mandela, Mandela

Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up

Mandela

Stop procrastinating

'Cause you've waited long enough

Too much hesitating

And it makes it twice as tough

I know one thing though

Yes, it's got to come someday

Yes, the people

Freedom's gonna come someday

Mandela, Mandela

Sing it children, sing

Mandela

Make them hear your singing

Mandela, Mandela

Mandela

Mandela, Mandela

Freedom's on the way

Mandela

Got to come one day, my man

Mandela, Mandela

Sing, sing children

Mandela

Mandela, Mandela

Come on, come on, come on now
