Free free free Nelson Mandela
Free Nelson Mandela

21 years in captivity
Shoes too small to fit his feet
His body abused, but his mind is still free
You're so blind that you cannot see

Free Nelson Mandela
Visited the causes at the AMC
Only one man in a large army
You're so blind that you cannot see

You're so deaf that you cannot hear him
Free Nelson Mandela
21 tears in captivity
You're so blind that you cannot see

You're so deaf that you cannot hear him
You're so dumb that you cannot speak
Free Nelson Mandela
