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
