《To Meet The Prime Time》 /《Glorious Days》 For Nelson Mandela , who is the former president of South Africa. Can we forget about the races? The bell rings for the call of home Hope on this land In the life of his Equality is for everyone It seems to be meaningless The pretty color shows its own beauty The thing dark skin has given to him is fighting for black race all his life Cause it does not You’ve lost what you owned in those years But there are still hopes in your weary eyes Now we’ve only got the empty lives To see the glorious days Holding freedom in stormy seas Separate each of them You’ve lost what you owned in those years But there are still hopes in your weary eyes Now we’ve only got the empty lives To see the glorious days Suffering the painful time life brings Holding freedom in stormy seas Will surely make a change Suffering the painful time life brings Who can just make it right? Will surely make a change Who can just make it right?
