by Jayram Daya
Where the ancestor's spirits live forever
Saluting Madiba for his endeavour
Dawn of freedom colours the eastern sky
Awake South Africa it's my cry
Nation lazy and lethargic is a slave
A bright future is to save
Unity our hope to recoil
Rise my people it's time to toil.
Where the Lions roar in the jungles
And the Leopards seek its prey.
Buffaloes laze in the waters
Rhino guards its territory.
Elephants graze the vast lands
Trumpeting the divine call
See Africa's big five
A land of nature's gift
Where gold and diamonds brings money
A country of milk and honey
Maze relives peoples hunger
Wines evoke joy and laughter
Grow sunflower for our oil
Nature rewards this fertile soil
Blessed you are too till this land
South Africa's wealth will expand
Where dark clouds gather on the horizon
Helped by the winds of change
The hot sun waits the passer by
The rain brings wanted relive
With running rivers green goes our land
Gifted with all seasons
A land of divine choice
South Africa shall live forever
Where the two oceans meet
Embracing the mother city
Table Mountain is elite
Serves a vision very pretty
Many came from east and west
Made history sailing by
Near an island of contest
City of passion and beauty
Where freedom was taken and given
Many sailed the seven seas
Black and white is we
Living with predators and prey
Some stayed to live forever
Made a culture of today
South Africa is one nation
Proud and happy as can be
Saluting Madiba for his endeavour
Dawn of freedom colours the eastern sky
Awake South Africa it's my cry
Nation lazy and lethargic is a slave
A bright future is to save
Unity our hope to recoil
Rise my people it's time to toil.
Where the Lions roar in the jungles
And the Leopards seek its prey.
Buffaloes laze in the waters
Rhino guards its territory.
Elephants graze the vast lands
Trumpeting the divine call
See Africa's big five
A land of nature's gift
Where gold and diamonds brings money
A country of milk and honey
Maze relives peoples hunger
Wines evoke joy and laughter
Grow sunflower for our oil
Nature rewards this fertile soil
Blessed you are too till this land
South Africa's wealth will expand
Where dark clouds gather on the horizon
Helped by the winds of change
The hot sun waits the passer by
The rain brings wanted relive
With running rivers green goes our land
Gifted with all seasons
A land of divine choice
South Africa shall live forever
Where the two oceans meet
Embracing the mother city
Table Mountain is elite
Serves a vision very pretty
Many came from east and west
Made history sailing by
Near an island of contest
City of passion and beauty
Where freedom was taken and given
Many sailed the seven seas
Black and white is we
Living with predators and prey
Some stayed to live forever
Made a culture of today
South Africa is one nation
Proud and happy as can be
