Lyrics:

(Jackson Browne) I come here for Dr. King Who gave the people a precious thing He found a light in the darkest hour And the strength for speaking truth to power And in the years since they shot him down You see changes that once were a dream Begin to come around When the walls have begun to crumble When the laws have begun to burn When the wind is singing freedom When the stone begins to turn And I come here to praise Mandela And to send this message to his jailer Your walls may hold the man inside But they'll never ever hold back the tide 'Cause in the years you've shut him away A generation has grown where he stood They're gonna see the day When the walls have begun to crumble When the laws have begun to burn When the wind is singing freedom When the stone begins to turn We come here to sing for freedom And to send our voices to the ones who need them Freedom for South Africa And justice for Nelson Mandela 'Cause in the years they've shut him away A generation has grown where he stood We're gonna see the day When the walls have begun to crumble When the laws have begun to burn When the wind is singing freedom When the stone begins to turn
