Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The great flood of tears that we've cried
For our brothers and sisters who've died
Over four hundred years have washed away our fears
And strengthened our pride, now we turn back the tide
[Verse 2]
We will no longer hear your command
We will seize the control from your hand
We will fan the flame of our anger and fame
And you'll feel ashamed of what you do in God's name
[Verse 3]
We will fight for the right to be free
And we will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
[Verse 4]
When the ancient drum rhythms ring
The voice of our forefathers sing
Forward, Africa, run, our day of freedom has come
For me and for you, amandla awethu
[Verse 5]
We will fight for the right to be free
And we will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
[Verse 6]
When the ancient drum rhythms ring
The voice of our forefathers sing
Forward, Africa, run, our day of freedom has come
For me and for you, amandla awethu
[Verse 7]
We will fight for the right to be free
And we will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
[Verse 8]
And we will fight for the right to be free
(We will fight for the right to be free)
And we will build our own society
(Build our own society)
And we will sing, we will sing
(We will sing, sing our own song)
We will sing our own song
[Verse 9]
And we will fight for the right to be free
(We will fight for the right to be free)
And we will build our own society
(Build our own society)
And we will sing, we will sing
(We will sing, sing our own song)
We will sing our own song
[Verse 10]
And we will fight for the right to be free
(We will fight for the right to be free)
And we will build our own society
(Build our own society)
And we will sing, we will sing
(We will sing, sing our own song)
We will sing our own song
[Verse 11]
And we will fight for the right to be free
(We will fight for the right to be free)
And we will build our own society
(Build our own society)
And we will sing, we will sing
(We will sing, sing our own song)
We will sing our own song
[Verse 12]
We will fight for the right to be free
Build our own society
We will sing, sing our own song
[Verse 13]
We will fight for the right to be free
Build our own society
We will sing, sing our own song
[Verse 14]
We will fight for the right to be free
Build our own society
We will sing, sing our own song
[Verse 15]
We will fight for the right to be free
Build our own society
We will sing, sing our own song
[Verse 16]
(Amandla awethu)
(Amandla awethu)
(Amandla awethu)
We will fight for the right to be free
(Amandla awethu)
Build our own society
(Amandla awethu)
We will sing, sing our own song
[Verse 17]
(Amandla awethu)
(Amandla awethu)
(Amandla awethu)
(Amandla awethu) (Awethu)
(Amandla awethu) (Awethu)
(Amandla awethu) (Awethu)
(Amandla awethu) (Awethu)...
