The victims of oppression 

I had a vision of a new world 
Another hidden in the southern plain 
Far away from the western wars 
And in this land we shall start again 

But in his anger...is a nation broken in two 
And the doors of ? shall be open for the chosen few 
And we call this land South Africa 
The Cape of hope to a northern star 
But that hope and peace will never be far 
Johannesburg 
Johannesburg 

And we raise our children 
By the blade and bullet they learn 
But unrest in the homeland 
Crowds gather, the township burns 

We stand divided 
But together we will show them all 
We can stand for so long 
We break away for the good of us all 

And we call this land South Africa 
The Cape of hope to a northern star 
But that hope and peace will never be far 
Johannesburg 
Johannesburg 
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 call this land South Africa 
The Cape of hope to a northern star 
But that hope and peace will never be far 
Johannesburg
