about

Mary Beth Huttlin wrote this boys choir piece in honor of Nelson Mandela.

lyrics

Fortune: "Meaningful relationships bring meaning to life"

I have walked that long road to freedom
I have tried not to falter
I have made missteps along the way
Behind each hill stands another

I take a moment to rest
To view the beauty around me
To look back on the distance
I have come

I can rest for only a moment
For with freedom come responsibilities
I dare not linger
My long walk is not ended

What counts in life is not that we've lived
It's the difference we have made
In the lives of others
That makes a lifetime significant.
