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
