The great flood of tears that we`ve cried br For our brothers and sisters who`ve died br Over four hundred years br Has washed away our fears br And strengthened our pride br Now we turn back the tide br br We will no longer hear your command br We will sieze the control from your hand br We will fan the flame br Of our anger and pain br And you`ll feel the shame br For what you do in gods name br br (Chorus) br br We will fight for the right to be free br We will build our own society br And we will sing, we will sing br We will sing our own song br br When the ancient drum rythms ring br The voice of our forefathers sings br Forward Africa run br Our day of freedom has come br For me and for you br Amandla Awethu br br (Chorus)
