SA's my pride
It all started in 1994 when we all made peace and ended the apartheid war
Madiba, my man, was officially free and the long walk to freedom ended
with long queues of voters at the IEC
I'll start my verse, my country so diverse
We can say awe of kom ma se kind, kom ons sikalekeke
Eleven languages that we can call our mother tongue
Nkosi sikelele with pride will be sung
CHORUS:
When I wake up and see the morning sun
my country’s come so far and ek sal sê ons kan
I'm proud to be part of the rainbow nation and it makes me feel so good
to be part of this multicultural celebration
New money notes, Khoisan on our coats
and don't forget our sights that bring the outlandish folks
The big five and the game drives, and lekker braai just to get by
2010, vuvuzelas so loud, Simpiwe's kick that made us proud
Chad le Clos’s gold medal swim, dit was soos iets van n droom
Natalie’s swim that gave us the win, just a few things that gave us the Olympic bling
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
We are not perfect, we got a long way to go
but this is my home, there’s nowhere else I'd rather go
