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"
"We can make this a better place for all
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"
