In this world there is so much anger
Our lives are in danger
We are all living in fears
We've got to stop the tears

Say, life is for living
So why must we wait?
We all need some loving
So why do we hate?

In South Africa things are still the same
The face of humanity still hasn't changed
People have to fight to live together
And share with one another

We can make this to a better place for all
If we listen to others when they call
Give a shoulder to lean on when they fall
We will bring down the apartheid wall

Innocent people pay with their lives
'Cause the truth, it cuts like a knife
Mandela's life is wasted in jail
Raise your voices for freedom

We can make this to a better place for all
If we listen to others when they call
Give a shoulder to lean on when they fall
We will bring down the apartheid wall

Say, life is for living (Woza Mandela, Sibizi' Gama Lakho)
So why must we wait? (Woza Mandela)
We all need some loving (Woza Mandela, Sibizi' Gama Lakho)
So why do we hate? (Woza Mandela)

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
