Brother Martin was walkin with me, And every step I heard liberty Tho he's fallin', come a million behind! Glory, Hallelujah, gonna make it this time!
chorus: No easy walk to freedom, No easy walk to freedom, Keep on walkin and we shall be free That's how we're gonna make history
Across the ocean, the blood's running warm I, I hear it coming, there's a thunderin' storm Just like we lived it, you know that it's true, Nelson Mandela, now we're walkin with you!
(chorus)
In our land, not so long ago, We lived the struggle, and that's how we know Slavery abolished, comin' freedom's call Keep on walking and apartheid will fall!
(chorus)
Oh, bread for the body, there's got to be But a soul will die without liberty Pray for the day when the struggle is past! Freedom for all! Free at last! Free at last!
