Introduction
(Intro to song (black male husky/smoky voice calling for attention)
Don't you see?
South Africa – our country
We have it all ... from
Chinese, Lebanese, Portuguese, Greeks,
African, Caucasion, Indians and
Don't forget the coloureds and many many others …
STAND UP!
The times has come
Here is our song!
Song
We the youth salute you
Our parents/guardians
For our proud history
Our heritage "freedom" –
A cultural necessity
Background
(Background voice effect of whispering trying to break through to conscience)
Don’t you see?
Don’t you see?
Song continues
Our human right to be free
In that lies our success –
Our future victories
Don’t you see?
Our wealth will be measured
In finding the balance of sustainability
Understanding
Never give back less than received
Don’t you see?
Be it our teachers or equals
Or those poor and weak
Don’t you see?
Each individual a lesson you need
Don’t you see?
For each one apart –
Together a team, forming a unity
Don’t you see?
To prosper and succeed
We need the prophets and the beggars in the street
Don’t you see?
Then our wisdom in harmony
A perfect balance between life’s hierarchies
Don’t you see?
Chorus
Rejoice!
Let’s dance, let’s sing
The future of South Africa
In our youth’s dreams.
Education the key
That will teach YOU about ME!
Don’t you see?
In our cultural diversity
Lies the secret key we need
To heal and progress our land’s future heritage
Don’t you see?
You don’t have to be blind not to see
Open your eyes to our youth’s dreams
Our destiny – make them believe they can achieve
All they believe they can be!
Chorus
Don’t you see?
Rejoice!
Let’s dance, let’s sing
The future of South Africa
In our youth’s dreams.
Don’t you see?
(Don’t you see – must escalate from whisper to clear, strong sound)
