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 maya muhle (Come good spirit)
Sibambana ngezandla sibemunye (Let us hold each others hands and be one)
Eya eya
E hlanganani eya (Everyone come together)

Show me your anger 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 through each african day

Chorus
