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! 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! 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 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 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 walkin 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 walkin and we shall be free That's how we're gonna make history You and me!

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le chemin difficile vers la liberté, en rappelant que la lutte pour l’émancipation demande des efforts constants. Le narrateur marche en pensée avec des figures historiques, témoignant du courage et de la détermination qui ont marqué des mouvements pour la justice. Elle souligne l'importance de la persévérance tout en évoquant les luttes passées et présentes contre l'oppression. La liberté est essentielle non seulement pour le corps, mais aussi pour l'âme, et un appel à prier pour un avenir où la lutte ne sera plus qu'un souvenir résonne tout au long des paroles.
