Step-by-step, there comes the day
We were all praying for (Oh, yes)

Early in the morning
It was early on Friday morning
Norway, in Oslo, 1993
When two men, all the way from South Africa
Mandela, De Klerk, accepted the Nobel Peace Prize
Congratulations, South Africa
Congratulations, South Africa (At last)
You reached democratic election
