HOOK
Better days oh,

Better days oh,

VERSE 1
Ndeysaa, you saw the light
I said, you saw the light, when you were in darkness.
They can do what they like, but you always said ‘we’ll overcome it’,
thats the message you spread.
PRE CHORUS
For your forgiveness, to all your oppressors,
we put you up there, we are saluting ya,
and also to South Africa for giving the world a great leader,
you made so many of us feel free,
through you the people dem can see.
HOOK
Better days oh,
what you did for our,
better days oh.
Better days oh,
you endlessly sought
better days oh.

VERSE 2
Here is my tribute to ya,
for all the time that you done spent, spent.
In our corner, fighting the fight there is none like ya,
the peace and cohesion that you helped to achieve, indebted to you
forever we’ll be.
PRE CHORUS
For your forgiveness, to all your oppressors,
we put you up there, we are saluting ya,
and also to South Africa for giving the world a great leader,
you made so many of us feel free,
through you the people dem can see.
HOOK
Better days oh,
