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 time      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 history      Across 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 you      And 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 history      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      No easy walk to freedom   No easy walk to freedom   Keep on walkin' and you 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 walkin' and you shall be free   That's how we're gonna change history      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 history, you and me
