Since you greatly admire Nelson Mandela I should let you know that his birthday was not yesterday. It was Tuesday. Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918.

I can never figure out why Nelson's birthday receives so little recognition. He is such an impressive, admirable leader & human being! Last year I tried to hold a birthday party for him here & Amigo was the only one to come! Surprised )

I missed that last one, or I surely would have come. Nelson's one of the tall figures of the 20th Century.

Free Nelson Mandela
Free, Free, Free, Nelson Mandela
Free Nelson Mandela
Twenty-one years in captivity
His shoes too small to fit his feet
His body abused but his mind is still free
Are you so blind that you cannot see

I say Free Nelson Mandela
I'm begging you
Free Nelson Mandela

He pleaded the causes of the ANC
Only one man in a large army
Are you so blind that you cannot see
Are you so deaf that you cannot hear his plea

Free Nelson Mandela
I'm begging you Free Nelson Mandela

Twenty-one years in captivity
Are you so blind that you cannot see
Are you so deaf that you cannot hear
Are you so dumb that you cannot speak

I say Free Nelson Mandela
I'm begging you
Oh free Nelson Mandela, free
Nelson Mandela I'm begging you
begging you Please free Nelson Mandela
free Nelson Mandela
I'm telling you, you've got to free Nelson Mandela
