(Anderson/Meyer/Cichon/Beamish) Winnie Mandela born a princess She's a prisoner in her own land Her only crime was to fall in love With a strong and honest man Her only crime was she fell in love Winnie Mandela knows of heartache She's married but seldom a wife She found the strength to rise above The pain the trouble and strife Oh yes she rose above the pain the trouble and strife CHORUS Winnie Mandela fuelled by the love of her land Winnie Mandela lives for the love of her man Her only crime was she fell in love Winnie Mandela lives with real pain Keeps it hidden until the night For 20 years she has slept alone Tears can never put that right For 20 long years she's slept alone
