Thulasizwe/i Shall Be Released

Traditional



Thulasizwe ungabokhala

U jehova wakho uzokunqobela



Inkululeko, inkululeko

U jehova wakho uzokunqobela



They say everything can be replaced

Yet every distance is not near

So i remember every face

Of every man who put me here



I see the light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now any day now

I shall be released



They say every man needs protection

They say every man must fall

Yet i swear i see my reflection

Some place too high above this wall



Now yonder standing me in this lonely crowd

A man who swears he's not to blame

All day long i hear his voice shouting so loud

Crying out that he was framed



I see the light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now any day now

I shall be released
