Why do you scream South Africa why do you cry?

Do you feel our country bleeding; do you know the reason why?

Gone is apartheid it is all in the past,

So why do the people still cry and how long will it last.

Like hot coals on fire, I see my people’s fears,

Like hail in the night, I feel my people’s tears

Pray god for a divine intervention that’s all you can do,

Cause your rights in S.A today are all too few.

During apartheid in S.A, you were too black

Now in the democratic S.A. you are too white!

So do you know what the hell you are, or must you always fight,

Is anyone there for you, do you still not have any rights?

What happened to my beautiful country?

What happened to my lovely home town?

What happens to all our my dreams,

Where are all our leaders now?

Violence, corruption, where does it all end

Greediness and segregation, is this the new trend

Pray for God to help us, pray he makes us strong.

Cause killing is fine today, but smoking is all wrong.

So bleed South Africa because your wounds are open wide

As you see your children suffer, as you hear their cries.

Can you feel all their suffering, can you see the unrest.

When will you start healing or will this be your final test!
