The great flood of tears that we've cried,
For our brothers and sisters who've died.
Over four hundred years,
Has washed away our fears,
And strengthened our pride,
Now we turn back the tide.
We will no longer hear your command,
We will seize the control from your hand.
We will fan the flame,
Of our anger and pain,
And you'll feel the shame,
For what you do in God's name.
We, will fight for the right to be free.
We, will build our own society.
And we, will sing, we will sing,
We will sing our own song.
(..)
When the ancient drum rhythms ring,
The voice of our forefathers sings:
Forward Africa run, our day of freedom has come,
For me and for you,
Amandla Awethu.
We, will fight for the right to be free.
We, will build our own society.
And we, will sing, we will sing,
We will sing our own song.
We, will fight for the right to be free.
We, will build our own society.
And we, will sing, we will sing,
We will sing our own song.
