18th of July on the banks of a not well known river

I started a journey to where I am now

Troubled soul, troublemaker guided by the drums of my creator

Toward a rhythm and rhyme, a melody line of a song called freedom

Which once heard will never leave your head



We are people born of sound

The songs are in our eyes

Gonna wear them like a crown



Walk out into the street

Sing your heart out

This love it can't be beat

We're neither down nor out

There's nothing you have that I need

While I can breathe

Breathe, while I can breathe



All those who stood together fist in air now know this

That real division is not a scar on the land

but in the heart of every man 

who began as a kiss

Not to resist, a knotted fist

Now an open hand, open face, an open page

Where history might rewrite its rage



And the life you get to live is the one you give away

To forget who to forgive is a good thing….



Walk out into the street

Sing your heart out

This love will not be beat

Neither down nor out

There's nothing you have that I need 

while I can breathe

Breathe, while I can breathe



Walk out into the street

Sing your heart out

This love will not be beat

Neither down nor out

There's nothing you have that I need 

while I can breathe

Breathe, while I can breathe



Rolihlahla, Rolihlahla, Rolihlahla, Rolihlahla
