So near yet so far away

Spirit of a new African day

Oh how we sang that song to be free

In our hearts and in our dreams



Chorus:

Woza Moya muhle

Sibambana ngezandla sibemunye

[Come good spirit

Let us hold each others hands and be one]

Eya eya

E Hlanganai eya

[Everyone come together]



Show me your anger and I'll show you my fear

Give me your hand and I'll draw you near

You've been down so long, I've been so long afraid

To share what shines beneath each African day



Chorus
