"This land is mine" by Jacobus Engelbrecht

This land is mine

It was a new day, perfect sunrise
The day I realised that I live in paradise
This is my country, my place of birth
I’ll give you everything, every cent I’m worth

BRIDGE:
From the buck, to the roaring lion
From the berg, to the bright blue sky
There’s no other place, no other space
that feels like it could be mine
We got our heaven right here
and we’re putting up a welcome sign
No matter what, I can’t deny
I’m African till I die

CHORUS:
I don’t care what you say, you won’t take me away
This land is mine, it runs in my veins
And the fact remains
This land is mine
This land is mine
This land is mine

There’s nothing like it, nowhere can compare
We got a beauty here that is rich and rare
I feel it in me, a sense of pride
That nothing in this world could ever hide

BRIDGE:
With the sands of the Kalahari
running through my veins
The faces of the mountains
show my people’s pains
The trail of the wagon, the blade of the Zulu spear
Till the day I die they will keep me here

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Goeie middag, dumela
Hey man howzit, sawubona
Ngiyabonga, lekker gakhulu
Eish wena, sweet my bru

CHORUS
