UB40 - Sing Our Own Song

The great flood of tears that we've cried For our brothers and sisters who've died Over four hundred years Has washed away our fears And strengthened our pride Now we turn back the tide We will no longer hear your command We will sieze the control from your hand We will fan the flame Of our anger and pain And you'll feel the shame For what you do in gods name We will fight for the right to be free We will build our own society And we will sing, we will sing We will sing our own song When the ancient drum rhythms ring The voice of our forefathers sings Forward Africa run Our day of freedom has come For me and for you Amandla Awethu We will fight for the right to be free We will build our own society And we will sing, we will sing We will sing our own song
