Oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
  
  We seize at this moment, justice
 
 Still standing on the streets of South Africa
 
 And apartheid still reigns supreme all through this land
 
 And the price too high and the end is near
  
 
 We hear the voices of the beast
 
 As it shouts at us, as it tries to frighten us
 
 As it tries to intimidate us
 
 And we know the price is high but the end is near
  
 
 We know, we know, that we will have to pay
 
 And get squashed, and the struggle is long and hard
 
 And through each part, the price is high but the end is near
  
 
 Do not be scared, do not do wrong
 
 Do not betray our faith, do not betray our children
 
 Do not betray our fathers, do not betray our mothers
 
 Do not betray our vision
 
 Do not betray the justice we are fighting for
 
 Do not betray the lands we will see that will rise up
 
 Out of the ashes of this country
 
 And apartheid will crumble
 
 The price will be high, but the end is near
  
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
  
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
 
 Hear me oh my people
