Oh, I can't believe it's finally here after all this time
The people, they are finally waiting in line
They can feel that freedom, it's running through their hands
As they mark the "X" in favour that will change the rugged land
It's a day of sun and it's a day of hope
When they finally rock the vote

(Chorus)
The walls will all come crashing down, and the doors will open wide
The walls will all come crashing down--no need to run and hide
The walls will all come crashing down, and the doors will open wide
The walls will all come crashing down

Oh, from shanty towns to Soweto town, they'll be singing in the streets
People, get ready now--Mandela's on the rise
It was a long time coming, in spite of all the pleas
They tried to lock him up, but they couldn't throw away the keys
It's a day of sun, with oppression in the past
They'll be screaming, "Free at last!"

Chorus

Freedom now, freedom now, freedom now, now freedom
Libertad, la libertad, da me da me la libertad

Chorus

It's a day of sun and it's a day of hope
When they finally rock the vote

Chorus
