This sympathy is not translated into force against the British government because it is not like the anti- apartheid movement which had a high profile here and Mandela is a more engaging figure than Yasser Arafat.

Praise Him, Nelson Mandela
Praise him, this son of Africa
He withstood mudsling’s of apartheid,
From Roben Island, to lead a nation, to set a pace.
Count him not, with other comrades,
Who cling on, un-ashamedly,
Till they are pulled, no sympathy
For subjects, heads had rolled,
Praise him, Nelson Mandela, in peace
He knew prosperity and peace
Who all he did for peace!

Vive La Vida
In this world there is so much anger
Our lives are in danger
We are all living in fears
We've got to stop the tears
Chorus: life is for living
So why must we wait
We all need some loving
So then why do we hate?
In south africa things are still the same
The face of humanity still hasn't changed
People have to fight to live together
And share with one another
Chorus
We can change this to a better place for all
If we listen to others when they call
Give a shoulder to lean on when they fall
Let us bring down the apartheid wall
Innocent people pay with their lives
Cause the truth, it cuts like a knife
Mandela's life is wasted in jail
Raise your voices for freedom
Chorus ( 3 x)
