A recorded reading of “Walk On Bright”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
Golden skies, the morning sings, Footsteps dance where freedom rings. Each breath a promise, bold and clear, A rising sun, no trace of fear. Hamba kahle, walk on bright, Through the shadows into light. With every step, a song we weave, A dream to hold, a truth to believe. The stars above, they guide our way, Inkanyezi lights the day. No road too long, no night too deep, Our spirits strong, our faith we keep. Phambili! forward, hearts ignite, Together now, we face the night. With voices raised and spirits high, We chase the dawn across the sky. Izulu liyakhanya! the sky is clear, Our path is bright, our time is near. With every beat, our stories grow, In every voice, the fire glows. So walk on bright, sikhanyisele, Let your light shine, come what may. For every song, for every fight, We rise again, we walk on bright.
Lyrics
Hey wena! — Hey wena! Hamba kahle! — Hamba kahle! Hey wena! — Hey wena! Sikhanyisele! — Sikhanyisele! Golden skies, the morning calls, Feet keep dancing, hearts won’t fall. Silences break with songs we know, Each step forward starts to glow. Oh hamba kahle, oh walk on bright, Phambili, we hold the light. Hey wena! — Hamba kahle! The road is long, but hope will stay. Hey wena! — Sikhanyisele! Tomorrow shines, no clouds remain. Shadows fade where voices sing, Every moment has a wing. Inkanyezi [star] guides our way, With every dawn, a brighter day. Oh hamba kahle, oh walk on free, Phambili, our hearts will see. Hey wena! — Hamba kahle! The road is long, but hope will stay. Hey wena! — Sikhanyisele! Tomorrow shines, no clouds remain. [Call] Izulu liyakhanya! — [Response] The sky is bright! [Call] Sikhanyisele! — [Response] Shine your light! [Call] Phambili njalo! — [Response] Move ahead! [Together] Hope will rise where footsteps tread! Hey wena! — Hamba kahle! The road is long, but hope will stay. Hey wena! — Sikhanyisele! Tomorrow shines, no clouds remain. Hamba kahle, walk on bright, Stars will guide us through the night. Hamba kahle, sing your song, Our hearts are strong, our journey long. Hey wena! — Hamba kahle! Hey wena! — Sikhanyisele!
