On the
streets, in the cities of South Africa; walk the
forgotten children of yesterday. The effect of suppression has drawn their shoulders to the soil of the land they once owned. Empower them; give them the opportunity to reach for their dreams, where shall we find the tools? How does one correct the crimes committed in a time before me? I dream of a time where all will stand alongside each other; upright, validated and proud. Oh South Africa; my dear land, call your children together; unite and urge forward to gain control. Children, close your eyes; become aware of the greatness you possess inside. Let your spirit run with the cheetah, rule with the lion; share the greatness of our land. I have let my spirit roam across the valleys, hills and cities of this great place. What a beautiful land I found? I have seen a people that realise progress has got nothing to do with the past, but to learn from it. Know who you are; you are South Africans. The greatness of this people, lays not in the wars they have won. They are great, because they prevented war; when there was enough reason to fight and kill. Now I stand before this great nation, a people to adore; how do we catch up with the time we’ve lost? How do we educate a nation; bring them to empower themselves? |
