He was a man who stood tall;
He knew he was destined to face it all.
From scholar to lawyer to freedom fighter;
He knew in the end it would make this country brighter
He tried his best to fight for equality;
Coz he knew all people would get equal opportunities
Everyone was equal in his eyes;
And it was this trait that made him rise
He was born to perform a duty;
And he did it to the best of his ability
He was someone we will forget never;
Our Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
He truly was a man of great stature
