lyrics

There’s a certain day coming, it’s coming for sure
When people will starve in their homeland no more
And colour won’t separate rich man from poor
There’ll be no more apartheid

There’s a certain day coming, that day is so near
Freedom cries are already charging the air
And the wicked are shaking in this country where
There’ll be no more apartheid

For there’ll be freedom, freedom
Freedom everywhere
There’ll be freedom, freedom
Shout it loud and clear
There’ll be freedom, freedom
Freedom bought so dear
This precious freedom from apartheid

There’s a certain day coming, it won’t be too long
When people live on the land where they belong
And spirits like Biko’s will join in the song
The song of freedom from apartheid

There’s a certain day coming when after all the pain
Every man will unite with his family again
The open graves at Dimbaza are waiting in vain
For the victims of apartheid

Well it’s a freedom
Bought with blood and pain
It’s a freedom, freedom
Fought with might and main
And it’s freedom, freedom
Which will not be lost again
This precious freedom from apartheid
