Lyrics
Mothers and fathers of South Africa
We are the voices of your children
Those who live and those yet to be born
We are the undernourished, the undereducated
The homeless and the naked
The voiceless victims of the infant mortality plague
That has seen so many of us young ones
Buried before reaching the age of one
We are your children
We call upon you today, on our knees
We implore you to please create for us
A new day, a new beginning, a new South Africa
In your hands lies our future
In your hands lies our destiny
We are your children
We are your children
We are your children
People all over South Africa
Let's work together every day
Unity is what we need
To build a nation big and strong
Unity is what we need
To build a nation big and strong
If every family, large and small
Could make love its guiding strength
Then our nation strong will stand
Bound together by a love supreme
People all over South Africa
Let's work together every day
Unity is what we need
To build a nation big and strong
Love your neighbour, love your children
Love your country, love the nation
Teach your children self-reliance
They are the future of a people truly free
South Africa, motherland
For you the future is bright as the sun
We've got to work hard to build you up
With the blood and sweat of our hands
For nothing is more precious in life
Than a people truly free
So let the earth and the heavens above
Resound with a song for you
People all over South Africa
Let's work together every day
Unity is what we need
To build a nation big and strong
People all over South Africa
Let's work together every day
Unity is what we need
To build a nation big and strong
In your hands lies our future
In your hands lies our destiny
We are your children
We are your children
