Lyrics Sing Our Own Song - UB40

Sing Our Own Song

The great flood of tears that we’ve cried
For our brothers and sisters who’ve died
Over fourhundred 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 seize the control from your hands
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 sing
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
