| 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
