Courage, My Friend is attributed to the anti-Apartheid Movement in South Africa, sung as protesters were being taken to jail and as a way to learn people's’ names in the jail cells.

It's essentially a call and response song, with a call and echo component. It's also a zipper/pocket song that welcomes the addition of individuals' names, places, or exhortations from the group. We have included a few possibilities below. 

"Courage (courage)
my friend (my friend),
You do not walk alone.
We will (we will)
walk with you (walk with you),
And sing your spirit home."
