We read for joy!
We read for pleasure!
We read for excitement!
Hey, young children of South Africa.
Look at what we are holding in our hands.
We are reading a book
We are having fun
Education is ours
Tell everyone.
So read on the taxi
Read on a bus stop
Read on the train
Read everywhere.
Let us all become a learning nation
We all have the right to learn
Reading books all the way
You are the voices of young Africa.
