  Hail Nelson Mandela!
Hail thou black Prince
Who has suffered so;
Hail thou icon among men.

For over quarter a century
Not even Pretoria's Iron Bars
Couldbreak a spirit, so strong held,
By God's Divine Love.

A love for your people
And for liberty, justice and equality.
At long last the dawning of a new day,
A time for Black man to rise everywhere.

Again, Hail Nelson Mandela,
A man of the people.


ENOCH JOHN
