These are the songs they are going to listen to and to sing:
MANDELA
DAY
(by Simple Minds, 1988)
It was 25 years they take that man away
Now the freedom moves in closer every day
Wipe the tears down from your saddened eyes
They say Mandela's free so step outside
Oh oh oh oh Mandela day
Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free
It was 25 years ago this very day
Held behind four walls all through night and day
Still the children know the story of that man
And I know what's going on right through your land
25 years ago
Na na na na Mandela day
Oh oh oh Mandela's free
If the tears are flowing wipe them from your face
I can feel his heartbeat moving deep inside
It was 25 years they took that man away
And now the world come down say Nelson Mandela's free
Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free
The rising suns sets Mandela on his way
Its been 25 years around this very day
From the one outside to the ones inside we say
Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free
Oh oh oh set Mandela free
Na na na na Mandela day
Na na na na Mandela's free
25 years ago
What's going on
And we know what's going on
Cos we know what's going on
"Gimme
Hope Jo'anna"
(by Eddy Grant 1988)
Well Jo'anna
she runs a country
She runs in Durban
and the Transvaal
She makes a
few of her people happy, oh
She don't care
about the rest at all
She's got a
system they call apartheid
It keeps a
brother in a subjection
But maybe
pressure will make Jo'anna see
How everybody
could a live as one
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
'Fore the
morning come
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Hope before
the morning come
I hear she
makes all the golden money
To buy new
weapons, any shape of guns
While every
mother in black Soweto fears
The killing of
another son
Sneakin'
across all the neighbours' borders
Now and again
having little fun
She doesn't
care if the fun and games she play
Is dang'rous
to ev'ryone
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
'Fore the
morning come
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Hope before
the morning come
She got
supporters in high up places
Who turn their
heads to the city sun
Jo'anna give
them the fancy money
Oh to tempt
anyone who'd come
She even knows
how to swing opinion
In every magazine
and the journals
For every bad
move that this Jo'anna makes
They got a
good explanation
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
'Fore the
morning come
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Hope before
the morning come
Even the
preacher who works for Jesus
The Archbishop
who's a peaceful man
Together say
that the freedom fighters
Will overcome
the very strong
I wanna know
if you're blind Jo'anna
If you wanna
hear the sound of drum
Can't you see
that the tide is turning
Oh don't make
me wait till the morning come
Do give hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
'Fore the
morning come
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Hope before
the morning come
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
'Fore the
morning come
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Gimme hope,
Jo'anna
Hope before the
morning come
