Nkululeko, siyafun’, siyafuna
(Freedom, we want it)
Blame me for my complexion
Put my body up against the wall
Drag my soul through the dirt
Blame me for my affection
Take my love and crush my bones
Chorus
Long way, long way to walk
Long way to freedom
Some people look into the shadows
Jump at the ghosts in their own heads
Some people shoot for the stars
Wake up dead
Some lose the gold in their own lives
Forgetting all the wise words the prophets have bled
Xolo mawethu, malube nani
Thando mawethu, ngama xhesa onke
(Love be with you brothers & sisters)
Peace be with you brothers & sisters at all times)
Chorus
Some are lot in a spiritual wasteland
Some give in to material desire
Some are locked up & chained
Reaching for the sun
If you truly wish to fly
Like the phoenix bird you must face the fire
Chorus
Nkululeko, siyafun’, siyafuna
(Freedom, we want it)
