    This song is about Nelson Mandela, who was imprisoned for 27 years. The choir sings that "we have not seen Mandela" and that he is still imprisoned. The verses describe being separated from others as islands across cold seas until the day comes when barriers can be crossed, potentially alluding to the end of apartheid. The last part asks when Mandela will return, as he is not present where the singers currently are.
