Tonight,
As Nelson Mandela fights for his life,
Our TV screens are smeared with Prince Philips' ill health.
Tell me true,
Of the two who has done more for world peace
And for his fellow travellers who journey through this life?
Two men,
One rich and royal and stained with bullet powder
And the other poor yet rich with the jewels of integrity.

Of the two who has done more for world peace
And for his fellow travellers who journey through this life?
Two men,
One rich and royal and stained with bullet powder
And the other poor yet rich with the jewels of integrity.
