South Africa my land

June 16 1976
When the youth was fighting for it's freedom 

Carrying posters and ready with bricks 
Striving for a better kingdom!

Today we have youth's day 
Because of the youth 

Who fought for us each day 
Who stood for the truth 

Some died in the scene 
Some nowhere to be found 

Freedom where have you been?
Six feet underground?

Many people died
Striving for you 
It was a tiresome ride 
If only you knew

Thanks to Nelson Mandela
A man filled with wisdom

Thanks to Steve Biko
For fighting for our freedom!

The road to democracy 
Was a long and difficult one 

They fought off autocracy 
It wasn't easy nor fun 

Today we can stand with pride 
And sing our national anthem

And it's all for those who died
We couldn't do it without them 

"Sounds the call to come together 
And united we shall stand 
Let us live and strive for freedom 
In south Africa our land"

Forever I shall sing this song!
Expressing my inner anguish 

They will remind me to always be strong 
These words shall never perish
