Akon Mandela song lyrics

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

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

Now you'd come back to scarlet, the dark days

They'd all illuminate, yeah

We miss you, Mandella, we miss you, Mandella
