Brother Martin was walking with me
And every step I heard liberty
Tho he's falling, come a million behind
Glory, hallelujah, gonna make it this time

No easy walk to freedom
No easy walk to freedom
Keep on walking 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 thundering storm
Just like we lived it, you know that it's true
Nelson mandela, now we're walking with you

No easy walk to freedom
No easy walk to freedom
Keep on walking and we shall be free
That's how we're gonna make history

In our land, not so long ago
We lived the struggle, and that's how we know
Slavery abolished, coming freedom's call
Keep on walking and apartheid will fall

No easy walk to freedom
No easy walk to freedom
Keep on walking and we shall be free
That's how we're gonna make history

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

No easy walk to freedom
No easy walk to freedom
Keep on walking and we shall be free
That's how we're gonna make history

No easy walk to freedom
No easy walk to freedom
Keep on walking and we shall be free
That's how we're gonna change history
You and me
