Name: A Million Mandelas
Duration: P00H05M32S
Description: Nelson Mandela's legacy, since he retired from public life, has been forgotten by many. I wrote this song in the belief and hope that at least a million young people of integrity already understand what he really means to us .. and that they will become like him .. truly humble good mannered leaders of our country.

about

Nelson Mandela's legacy, since he retired from public life, has been forgotten by many. I wrote this song in the belief and hope that at least a million young people of integrity already understand what he really means to us .. and that they will become like him .. truly humble good mannered leaders of our country.

lyrics

There was a man who cast a long shadow
I never spoke to him .. never shook his hand
But I loved him like he was my brother
