Chorus:
Salute father Mandela
You fought for us and you suffered for us
Salute father Mandela
We honour and we respect you
You the icon, you the legend, you are the hero
Verse 1:
He stayed in prison for the sake
Of me and you. He suffered
A lot for his nation and his people
He is the first black president
The father of the nation. You lead by
Example forever you will
Live because legends live forever

You fought for us and you suffered for us

You the icon, you the legend, you are the hero
Verse 2:
I respect you for the love you gave us
I honour you for the sacrifice you took
Come on SA lets sing for our father
If you know what I’m talking about
Let me see your hands up
If you honour him get on your feet
Chorus:
Salute father Mandela
You fought for us and you suffered for us
Salute father Mandela
We honour and we respect you
You the icon, you the legend, you are the hero

Robben Island was not easy at all
You gave birth to freedom now
We live in peace not in pieces
Forgive and forget are the words you preach
Thanks father Mandela
