UNGALALLELI LAW' AMANGA 'MNGANE WAMI
don't listen to the lies of my compatriot
OH SIZOBAHLULA THINA NAWA
we will be victorious in the end, just you and me
OH THINA NAMA
just you and me
I saw the Berlin Wall fall
I saw Mandela walk free
I saw a dream whose time has come
Change my history -- so keep on dreaming
Deam on dreamer, dreamer
In the best of times and in the worst of times
gotta keep looking at the skyline
not at a hole in the road
Your time will come, sister, your time will come
nobody's gonna rush history, we have to ease it along
-- just ease it along
