The Lions Of Africa Speak

They shall declare

That the people have spoken

That the lions of Africa have risen

That the voiceless who are silenced

Silenced by this system 

Have dismantled the barriers of exclusion

Listen to the beating hearts of the masses

Who's thundering cries will strike down 

These walls that protect your privilege

They refuse to be made puppets

Who are controlled by a few

They shall declare power to the people

They shall record this historical moment

That shall echo 

Throughout the generations to come

We make a stand so they may know 

We will not be pushed aside

We refuse to be sponges 

That absorb all your punishment

It is time to reveal the scares 

That refuse to be hidden 

We shall raw AMANDLA 

And respond NGAWETHU

We simply proclaiming the power is ours

And we will no longer standby 

While it is abused for the benefits of a few

They shall declare

The lions of Africa stand tall 

They shall proclaim they refuse to fall 

AMANDLA NGAWETHU 

The people are speaking 

No longer shall our voices be hidden
