No easy walk to freedom
Brother Martin was walkin with meAnd every step I heard libertyTho he's fallin', come a million behind!Glory, Hallelujah, gonna make it this time!
No easy walk to freedom,No easy walk to freedom,Keep on walkin' and we shall be freeThat's how we're gonna make history
Across the ocean, the blood's running warmI, I hear it coming, there's a thunderin' stormJust like we lived it, you know that it's trueNelson Mandela, now we're walkin' with you!
No easy walk to freedom,No easy walk to freedom,Keep on walkin' and we shall be freeThat's how we're gonna make history
In our land, not so long ago,We lived the struggle, and that's how we knowSlavery abolished, comin' freedom's callKeep on walking and apartheid will fall!
No easy walk to freedom,No easy walk to freedom,Keep on walkin' and we shall be freeThat's how we're gonna make history
Oh, bread for the body, there's got to beBut a soul will die without libertyPray for the day when the struggle is past!Freedom for all! Free at last! Free at last!
You and me!
