A sad day that we’ll remember for a long time
A true hero who had the highest mountain to climb
Not wanting to give up and strive for anti-apartheid
This was the day the world stood still and cried
Suffering racial abuse throughout his years
Not wanting the next generation to have these fears
He fought for his freedom in a non violent way
Didn’t show hatred towards the people who put him away
He inspired so many to live a peaceful life
He approached the people when the country was in strife
Demanding that they follow his lead
Instead of wanting their own personal greed
Always wanting to forgive but not forgetting the past
Hoping that his reconciliation legacy will continue to last
A human being who saw the world in a different view
Trying to make the globe a better place for me and you
So many causes he helped along his remarkable ride
Leaving behind a country that now beams with pride
He spoke so gently but everyone listened with ease
Let’s carry on his legacy; I’m urging you, please
