Lyrics;
It’s a Long Long Walk to Freedom (Nelson Mandela Tribute)
Brothers and you sisters can you hear that sound, it’s a message from the soul man
Take a good listen and gather round, everybody lets hold hands
A man with a vision and a humble heart, that’s how it all started
A fire in his belly and a goal in sight, live as one, he shouted
Cause it’s a long long walk to freedom, and it’s not black or white
It’s a long long walk to freedom, but together we can get it right
Sticks and stones can break our bones, but the spirit is stronger
And rocks and chains can cause such pain, but the dream lives longer
Cause it’s a long long walk to freedom, and it’s not black or white
It’s a long long walk to freedom, but together we can get it right (Repeat)
Sister or brother, father or mother……forgive one another, to get it right
Culture or colour, stranger or lover………respect one another, to get it right
It’s not black, it’s not white……it’s not power, it’s not might
It’s not rich, it’s not poor………just respect for one and all
Cause it’s a long long walk to freedom, and it’s not black or white
It’s a long long walk to freedom, but together we can get it right (Repeat)
