歌词
[Verse 1]
Born in the land of South Africa, in 1918’s dawn,
A boy named Nelson, where the struggle was born.
From the village of Qunu, where his dreams took flight,
He’d grow to be a beacon in the darkest night.
[Verse 2]
He studied hard and fought for rights, as the years did pass,
In the city of Johannesburg, he took a stand with class.
The ANC, he joined with hope and pride,
Against apartheid’s chains, he’d not abide.
[Chorus]
Oh, Mandela, the hero so bold,
Through every trial, your story’s told.
From the shadows of the prison cell,
You rose to freedom, and we all can tell.
[Verse 3]
In 1962, the prison gates closed tight,
For 27 years, he faced the darkest night.
On Robben Island, where the winds did howl,
His spirit stayed unbroken, he’d never bow.
[Verse 4]
The world cried for justice, the call grew loud,
From every corner, his name was proud.
In 1990, he walked out free,
A symbol of hope for you and me.
[Chorus]
Oh, Mandela, the hero so bold,
Through every trial, your story’s told.
From the shadows of the prison cell,
You rose to freedom, and we all can tell.
[Verse 5]
In 1994, a new dawn broke bright,
As Nelson became President, a beacon of light.
He healed a nation, with forgiveness so grand,
Uniting South Africa, hand in hand.
[Verse 6]
He stepped down in '99, with grace and with peace,
Yet his legacy lives on, and will never cease.
In the hearts of millions, his story’s a guide,
Of strength, hope, and courage, far and wide.
[Bridge]
From the dusty roads of Qunu to the global stage,
Mandela’s life was a timeless page.
With every stride, he showed us the way,
That love and justice will always sway.
[Chorus]
Oh, Mandela, the hero so bold,
Through every trial, your story’s told.
From the shadows of the prison cell,
You rose to freedom, and we all can tell.
[Outro]
Nelson Mandela, your name we sing,
A testament to what courage can bring.
In every heart, your spirit remains,
A hero’s legacy, through joys and pains.
