LONG WALK
From son to father
From child to adult
From village to city
Long walk
From Transkei to Johannesburg
From school to college
From prisoner to president
From rural to urban
Long road
Long walk
From apartheid
To friendship
From enemy
From apartness to partners
From struggle to peace
Long walk from segregation
From separation to combination
Trouble-maker to peace-maker
Indeed a long walk
Long walk my hero
My inspiration
My saviour
The son of a chief
The fighter of segregation
The source of peace
A lawyer by profession
A president by sacrifices
By struggle,
Hate,
Fights and suffer
Tears and pain
He still stands still
And still walking
From robin island
To ruling the land
From prisoner
To president
From prisoner to leader
From tears
To joy
Long walk Tata
Long live the spirit of you Nelson Mandela… Thank you
