Children's SOS for Nelson Mandela "The Long Walk to Justice"
to assist children with Aids in Africa.
[chorus by African singers]
Amandla !
Ngawethu !
iAfrika !
Mayibuye !
The Long Walk to Justice begins inside a soul
When love for your fellow man
Redefines life’s goal
…… and the buffalo begin to run
You recognise a path of right
A violated human right
Your blood runs thicker in your veins
..… and the lion roars again
Justice gathers seekers, like honey gathers bees
Like antelope take to the slope
Attracted by the breeze
But when that breeze becomes a storm
its like buffalo on the run
Then injustice, beware !
The day of reckoning’s come
Injustice, beware !
The day of reckoning’s come
Amandla !
Ngawethu !
iAfrika !
Mayibuye !
The Long Walk to Justice goes where famine dies
Where poverty is no longer
And we heed the babies’ cries
…… and the rains wash away tears
Its when judgment’s made for act or deed
No longer made for colour or creed
And pride in being, is natural
…... and the wilderbeeste sleeps serene
The Long Walk to Justice is a journey with an end
But injustice breeds like river reeds
‘Must be met and culled anew, my friend
……… but this day, the breeze is on the rise
The journey’s end is found each time
just one person breaks their binds
and human dignity again breathes free
.…. thank you for walking with me, my friend.
