lyrics

A MILLION MANDELAS [words and music Nick Taylor]

There was a man who cast a long shadow
I never spoke to him .. I never shook his hand
But I loved him .. like he was my brother
He walked a road .. no one woud choos
All those years .. in the wilderness of pain
Parched by the sun .. chilled by the rain
But deep inside he knew .. it was all for you and me That one day we'd be free
Though he is gone .. his legend lives on
For all who knew his name .. all who shook his hand And who loved him .. like he was their brother
But be not sad my friend .. nothing is wasted
It was always he who was free
And we .. who were in captivity
And though we may not see them in our time Among your children and mine
CHORUS
A million Mandelas .. will rise someday
A million hearts and minds to show the way A million Mandelas who understand
What it means to see his promised land
I know a man who cast a long shadow
Never spoke to him .. never shook his hand
But I loved him .. like he was my brother
And all whose hearts he touched .. with his wisdom Are the seeds that grow but slowly
In fields of love .. where life is holy
And when the time has come to blossom free
Our hearts will sing in harmony
CHORUS
A million Mandelas .. will rise someday
A million hearts and minds to show the way A million Mandelas who understand
What it means to see his promised land
A MILLION MANDELAS
