“The drums of freedom beat loud and clear

In the streets of Soweto, where the youth dare to hear

The call of liberation, the cry of the land

To rise up and take back what’s rightfully in our hands

The chains of oppression, the shackles of pain

We’ll break them, we’ll shatter them, like the morning rain

The voices of our ancestors, they whisper in our ears

‘rise up, my children, and claim your rightful years’

The wind of change blows strong, it carries our cry

For justice, for equality, for a brighter sky

We’ll march, we’ll sing, we’ll dance, we’ll rise as one

For the future we deserve, the future we’ve begun

The fire of resistance, it burns deep inside

A flame that flickers bright, a beacon to guide

We’ll fan the flames of freedom, we’ll let them shine bright

For we are the sons and daughters, of the struggle and the fight”
