Lyrics

Nelson Mandela: Dark city, so different from the Transkei, the magic world of my childhood had fled, bound together by a love of our common history. Our culture, our country, our people

Our culture, our country, our people
Nelson Mandela: Something stands deep inside all of us, that bound us to one and other
And the power of the great Gods that linked us all together
Nelson Mandela: Fined for what we did not say
Fined for what we did not say
Imprisoned for what we could not hear
Hanged for what we did not do

We were freedom fighters
Our was the black ??????
We carried the torch that lit the path
Till freedom went out of our hands

Have invincible faith
Have invincible hope
In the invincible dignity of man
Have invincible faith
In the invincible dignity of man

Nelson Mandela: With Muslims in the Cape shoot our workers in the dark, factory workers in Port Elizabeth fight the government side by side.
Fight the government side by side
Inch by inch, mile by mile, till victory is won
Nelson Mandela: I would have never been a soldier. I who have never fought in ?????
Make the spear of the nation
Take the struggle to the heart of white power
Take the struggle to the heart of white power
Shaking hands with history
Nelson Mandela: Struggle is my life
I will continue fighting for freedom
Until the end of my days

Hold on to your life, hold on to your children
Be armed with the weapon to show that you care
The weapon is wisdom that goes with the knowledge
That freedom is being aware

Under the cover of ignorance
A new darkness is sweeping our land
The pestilent virus of HIV AIDS
Is wreaking its havoc on man

Have invincible faith
Have invincible hope
In the invincible dignity of man
Have invincible faith
In the invincible dignity of man

Nelson Mandela: Dignity, the hallmark of our action. Shaking hands with history. The struggle is my life. I will continue fighting for freedom, until the end of my days
Have invincible faith
Have invincible hope
In the invincible dignity of man
Have invincible faith
Have invincible hope
In the invincible dignity of man
Have invincible faith
Have invincible hope
In the invincible dignity of man
