I had a vision of a new world Another hidden in the southern plain Far away from the western wars And in this land we shall start again
But in his anger...is a nation broken in two And the doors of ? shall be open for the chosen few And we call this land South Africa The Cape of hope to a northern star But that hope and peace will never be far Johannesburg Johannesburg
And we raise our children By the blade and bullet they learn But unrest in the homeland Crowds gather, the township burns
We stand divided But together we will show them all We can stand for so long We break away for the good of us all
And we call this land South Africa The Cape of hope to a northern star But that hope and peace will never be far Johannesburg Johannesburg Johannesburg
Here's to the future To a future we may never see Here's to the brave new world May we live in harmony
And we call this land South Africa The Cape of hope to a northern star But that hope and peace will never be far Johannesburg Johannesburg ...
