And dies to live
A dapper lawyer
The stalwart of justice
The slayer of apartheid
Apartheid left no mark on you
So tall, so handsome, so regal
You always were
With a straight head
And a kind heart
On Robben Island
Some tried to break your bones
But your indomitable spirit
Keep faith with your creed and humanity
Your smile is the diamond in your crown
You were the embodiment
Of goodness, greatness and gracefulness
You shall live on for eternity in the hearts
Of children, women and men
Your own children and grandchildren
And Graca Michel.
