Lyrics
I had a vision of a new world
Another Eden in a Southern plain
Far away from the Western wars
In this land we shall start again
But Independence
Is a nation broken in two
And the doors of compromise
Will be open for the chosen few
And we shall call this land South Africa
The Cape of Hope to the Northern Star
Where hope and peace will never be far
At Johannesburg
Johannesburg
At Johannesburg
We raise our children
On a plain of bullet and blood
But unrest in the homeland
Crowds gather, a township burns
We stand divided
And together we will surely fall
And we stand for so long
We break away for the good of us all
And we shall call this land South Africa
The Cape of Hope to the Northern Star
Where hope and peace will never be far
At Johannesburg
Johannesburg
At Johannesburg
Here's to the future
To a future we may never see
Here's to the brave new world
May we live in harmony
And we shall call this land South Africa
The Cape of Hope to the Northern Star
Where hope and peace will never be far
At Johannesburg
Johannesburg
At Johannesburg
Another Eden in a Southern plain
Far away from the Western wars
In this land we shall start again
But Independence
Is a nation broken in two
And the doors of compromise
Will be open for the chosen few
And we shall call this land South Africa
The Cape of Hope to the Northern Star
Where hope and peace will never be far
At Johannesburg
Johannesburg
At Johannesburg
We raise our children
On a plain of bullet and blood
But unrest in the homeland
Crowds gather, a township burns
We stand divided
And together we will surely fall
And we stand for so long
We break away for the good of us all
And we shall call this land South Africa
The Cape of Hope to the Northern Star
Where hope and peace will never be far
At Johannesburg
Johannesburg
At Johannesburg
Here's to the future
To a future we may never see
Here's to the brave new world
May we live in harmony
And we shall call this land South Africa
The Cape of Hope to the Northern Star
Where hope and peace will never be far
At Johannesburg
Johannesburg
At Johannesburg
