Power of One

One dream that transformed an entire nation,

One vision that caused society to rearrange,

One thought that led to a greater innovation,

One man who mobilized a monumental change,

One African of great renown and fame;

Nelson Mandela was the man’s name.

One speech that won a million hearts,

One belief which instilled new faith,

One idea that opened a hundred new paths,

One man who adorned that which was rathe,

One person for whole equality was the aim;

Nelson Mandela was the man’s name.

One word that created love for those who were hated,

One realization that opened a thousand new doors,

One man who uplifted those whom all had alienated,

One person whom every African still deeply adores,

One human who treated blacks and whites just the same;

Nelson Mandela was the man’s name.
