So near yet so far away
Spirit of a new African day
Oh how we sang that song to be free
In our hearts and in our dreams

Woza Moya muhle
Sibambana ngezandla sibemunye
(Come good spirit
Let us hold each other's hands and be one)
Eya eya
E Hlanganai eya
(Everyone come together)

Show me your anger and I'll show you my fear
Give me your hand and I'll draw you near
You've been down so long, I've been so long afraid
To share what shines beneath each African day

Woza Moya muhle
Sibambana ngezandla sibemunye
(Come good spirit
Let us hold each other's hands and be one)
Eya eya
E Hlanganai eya
(Everyone come together)
