BLACK he was, yet he moved the world.
BLACK he was, yet resonating was his word.
BLACK he was, yet a model we saw.
BLACK he was, yet he stood out amongst all.
BLACK he was, and he made BLACK COUNT!
The Mvezo-born Rolihlahla!
Yes, you were named a trouble maker
But you lived a freedom fighter, a peacemaker
A model leader.
Christened a Nelson.
Kept in prison.
Your resolve never imprisoned.
You showed the world that might within is greater than might without.
O the streets of Rivonia shall miss the rattling steps of a hero.
Qunu-Mthatha weep not! To your soil your son cometh for his rest.
He has made thee proud.
He has made thee Count.
We hope to impact as he.
