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 sieze
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
And 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
And 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
And 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
And we will fight for
the right
to be free
