Mandela day lyrics

Artist  : Simple minds 
Song : Mandela day
 
It was 25 years they take that man away

But freedom moves him closer every day.
Wipe the tears down from your saddened eye

They say Mandela's free
so step outside.
Mandela day - Mandela's free.

It was 25 years ago this very day

And behind four walls all through the nights and
day.
Still the children know the story of that man

And we know what's going on right through your
land.
25 years ago - Mandela day - Mandela's free!

And the tears are flowing
wipe them from your face

I can feel this heartbeat moving deep inside.
It was 25 years they took that man away

And I'm a workin'
dancin'
hissing'
Mandela's free.
Mandela's free.

The rising sun sets Mandela on his way

It's been 25 years around this very day.
From the one outside to the ones inside we say:

Mandela's free - set Mandela free - Mandela day -
Mandela's free -...
