Brother Martin was walkin' with me
And every step, I heard, "Liberty"
Though he's fallin', come a million behind
Glory, Hallelujah, gonna make it this timeNo easy walk to freedom
No easy walk to freedom
Keep on walkin' and ya shall be free
That's how we're gonna make historyAcross the ocean, the blood's runnin' 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 youAnd there's a no easy walk to freedom
No easy walk to freedom
Keep on walkin' and ya shall be free
That's how we're gonna make historyIn 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 fallNo easy walk to freedom
No easy walk to freedom
Keep on walkin' and you shall be free
That's how we're gonna make historyOh, 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!No easy walk to freedom
No easy walk to freedom
Keep on walkin' and you shall be free
That's how we're gonna change historyNo easy walk to freedom
No easy walk to freedom
Keep on walkin' and you shall be free
That's how we're gonna change history, you and me
