The victims of oppression


I had a vision of a new world

Another hidden in the southern plain

Far away from the western wars

And in this land we shall start again


But in his anger...is a nation broken in two

And the doors of ? shall be open for the chosen few

And we call this land South Africa

The Cape of hope to a northern star

But that hope and peace will never be far

Johannesburg

Johannesburg


And we raise our children

By the blade and bullet they learn

But unrest in the homeland

Crowds gather, the township burns


We stand divided

But together we will show them all

We can stand for so long

We break away for the good of us all


And we call this land South Africa

The Cape of hope to a northern star

But that hope and peace will never be far

Johannesburg

Johannesburg

Johannesburg


Here's to the future

To a future we may never see

Here's to the brave new world

May we live in harmony


And we call this land South Africa

The Cape of hope to a northern star

But that hope and peace will never be far

Johannesburg

Johannesburg
