Mandela Lyrics
My knuckles all bruised up from knocking on heaven`s door
My body still aching from sleeping on cement floors
I was taught to be non-violent when I`m at war
But it`s so hard to move in silence when the lions roar
Cuz I was born in shackles (you protected my soul, you left me)
All alone in shackles (oh, went through it all, you blessed me)
You lift me up when I was down, no hope, no vision
Lift me up when all of y`all were against me, were against me
Now you`d come back to scarlet, the dark days
They`d all illuminate, yeah
We miss you, Mandella, we miss you, Mandella
Suffering no more, oh yes, a fight and I fight and I fight until I can`t no more,
You see these whips and these chains around my neck just might be my flaw,
But these whips on my back represent what I endured
Cuz I was born in shackles (you protected my soul, you left me)
All alone in shackles (oh, went through it all, you blessed me)
You lift me up when I was down, no hope, no vision
Lift me up when all of y`all were against me, were against me
Now you`d come back to scarlet, the dark days
They`d all illuminate, yeah
We miss you, Mandella, we miss you, Mandella
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
You gave me my freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom
And I will never surrender, I won`t surrender
No surrender, no no
And I will never surrender, I won`t surrender

No surrender, no no
You lift me up when I was down, no hope, no vision
Lift me up when all of y`all were against me
Now you`d come back to scarlet, the dark days
They`d all illuminate, yeah
We miss you, Mandella, we miss you, Mandella
