A long path we have come along
Many lost in old ideals
A long path we still have to go
The pain of the past
The tears of the parentless children
For so many
There will never be a comfort
Segregated
Split apart, divided
Predujice and unfairness reigns
The human spirit proves hard to crush
AIDS claims another child
A mother watches her daughter die
Consumed by trying to survive
Mourning is overshadowed by life's struggles
Amongst the death and destruction
Springs a shoot of life
Such contrast
Is the green among the grey
A land that once had dragged its feet
Stands with pride
A nation united
A nation as one
South Africa;
An abundance of hurt
And abundance of Hope
The rainbow is brighter than anyone could have imagined
