Long Walk to Freedom
Robben Island, chains of hate
27 years, apartheid's weight
Behind bars but spirit free
Madiba's dream of unity
In solitude, his mind grew strong
Fighting for right, against the wrong
Long walk to freedom, steps of hope
Breaking shackles, learning to cope
From prisoner to president
Forgiveness, his testament
Rainbow nation, born from pain
Mandela's courage breaks the chain
Betrayed by those who feared change
Yet his vision remained unchanged
In darkness, he became the light
For those who longed to set things right
Released at last, but work's not done
The journey to freedom's just begun
Long walk to freedom, steps of hope
Breaking shackles, learning to cope
From prisoner to president
Forgiveness, his testament
Rainbow nation, born from pain
Mandela's courage breaks the chain
Reconciliation's refrain
Healing a country split in twain
No vengeance in his noble heart
Only desire for a new start
From Robben Island to Union Buildings
His path paved with forgiveness and healing
Ubuntu, I am because we are
Healing wounds, near and far
In the face of history's test
Mandela's courage stands the best
Long years of struggle not in vain
His sacrifice breaks every chain
Long walk to freedom, steps of hope
Breaking shackles, learning to cope
From prisoner to president
Forgiveness, his testament
Rainbow nation, born from pain
Mandela's courage breaks the chain
Long walk to freedom, never ends
Justice and peace, he transcends
Madiba's legacy lives on
In every heart, in every dawn
Betrayed but never broken down
He turned his struggle to a crown
27 years, apartheid's weight
Behind bars but spirit free
Madiba's dream of unity
In solitude, his mind grew strong
Fighting for right, against the wrong
Long walk to freedom, steps of hope
Breaking shackles, learning to cope
From prisoner to president
Forgiveness, his testament
Rainbow nation, born from pain
Mandela's courage breaks the chain
Betrayed by those who feared change
Yet his vision remained unchanged
In darkness, he became the light
For those who longed to set things right
Released at last, but work's not done
The journey to freedom's just begun
Long walk to freedom, steps of hope
Breaking shackles, learning to cope
From prisoner to president
Forgiveness, his testament
Rainbow nation, born from pain
Mandela's courage breaks the chain
Reconciliation's refrain
Healing a country split in twain
No vengeance in his noble heart
Only desire for a new start
From Robben Island to Union Buildings
His path paved with forgiveness and healing
Ubuntu, I am because we are
Healing wounds, near and far
In the face of history's test
Mandela's courage stands the best
Long years of struggle not in vain
His sacrifice breaks every chain
Long walk to freedom, steps of hope
Breaking shackles, learning to cope
From prisoner to president
Forgiveness, his testament
Rainbow nation, born from pain
Mandela's courage breaks the chain
Long walk to freedom, never ends
Justice and peace, he transcends
Madiba's legacy lives on
In every heart, in every dawn
Betrayed but never broken down
He turned his struggle to a crown
