Sing Our Own Song

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 hands

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 sing

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

We will sing, we will sing

We will sing our own song
