David Pedemonte-Forte - To Father Madiba Lyrics

Even though you left this world
You have left your mark behind
It is always there to stay
As well as you are here to stay

Cause you are always on our minds
And you are always in our hearts
It is always there to stay
And we won't let you go away

Thank you for the lessons you have given us
Thank you for the legacy you left for us
Enkosi Kakhulu
Hamba Kahle
Tata Madiba

They once took your freedom away
But they could never take your faith
Cause God stood by your side
And so you stood your ground and fight

Cause you're the one who taught us the meaning of peace
To love our neighbors as well as our enemies
As your philosophy continues to inspire us all
God'll welcome you home

I just wanna thank you for the lessons you have given us
Thank you for the legacy you left for us
Enkosi Kakhulu
Till we meet again
Tata Madiba

I just wanna thank you for the lessons you have given us
Thank you for the legacy you left for us
Even when hope is lost
You taught us all to never give up!

Thank you for the lessons you have given us
Thank you for the legacy you left for us
Enkosi Kakhulu
Hamba Kahle
Tata Madiba
