I see your brave words
and hear your brave heart,
but still there remain
People whose words and hearts
Are not heard, whose words and
Hearts are with yours, Nelson.
Though released, you are not free.
Though millions are behind you,
You are not in power.

Your brave words proclaim a world
your brave heart has never known.
While millions of puny voices speak
your praise, and praise your words,
But not as one voice.

You must speak the voice of millions,
Be the one voice
To proclaim a world those millions
Have not known.
