[Verse 1: Mandela]
No sailor am I with no compass no plan
cast out on the ocean for all that I am
It's a chance without choice that has put me to sea
so I'll hold tight to hope 'til the day I am free

[Chorus: Rita]
So I'll leave all I know in the search for a home
there's no way of knowing how far I must roam
I'll cling on to courage, I'll fight the wild sea
I'll hold tight to hope 'til the day I am free

[Verse 2: Heifa]
Through storms and through gunfire, we whispered goodbyes
is this where the boat breaks? is this where we die?
There's a light in the dark and it's calling to me:
"Just hold tight to hope 'til the day you are free"

[Chorus: Heifa]
So I'll leave all I know in thе search for a home
therе's no way of knowing how far I must roam
I'll cling on to courage, I'll fight the wild sea
I'll hold tight to hope 'til the day I am free
