2ND VERSE:

"In South Africa things are still the same

The face of humanity still hasn’t changed

People have to fight to live together

And share with one another"

If we listen to others when they call

Give a shoulder to lean on when they fall

Let us bring down the apartheid wall"

"Innocent people pay with their lives

Cause the truth, it cuts like a knife

Give a shoulder to lean on when they fall

Let us bring down the apartheid wall"
