Yeah, oh, listen closely
We are one, baby, we are one
I look across the borders and I see a brother's face
From the north to the south, we belong to the same place
No need for the shadows, no need for the pain
We’re all drinking from the same golden rain
From Zambia to Nigeria, the roots run deep
Let’s wake up from the hatred that makes our children weep
Yeah, I need you, we need each other to stand
Walking hand in hand across this promised land
South Africa, let’s rise, let our spirit be the light
No more division, let’s make it right
We are all one heart, one blood, one soul
Let love be the path that makes us whole
Oh, we are one, yeah, we are one
Underneath the heat of the same bright sun
Mandela showed the way, he opened up the door
To love, to forgive, to want peace evermore
Whether Congo or Zimbabwe, we share the same name
Humanity’s calling, let’s fan the same flame
Xenophobia is a chain that we need to break
For the future of the little ones, for their sake
I need you to see the beauty in the neighbor you meet
Let’s heal every street, let’s make it sweet
South Africa, let’s rise, let our spirit be the light
No more division, let’s make it right
We are all one heart, one blood, one soul
Let love be the path that makes us whole
Oh, we are one, yeah, we are one
Underneath the heat of the same bright sun
No country stands alone, we need the bond we share
Can’t you feel the change, can’t you feel it in the air?
Pastor Peter speaks the prayer, let the blessing fall
May South Africa rise for the good of us all
Yeah, mmm, let the healing begin
So put the weapons down and pick up the grace
We’re building a legacy for the whole human race
From the mountains to the plains, let the unity flow
This is the season, this is the time we grow
Oh, baby, we are more than just lines on a map
Let’s close the distance, let’s close the gap
South Africa, let’s rise, let our spirit be the light
No more division, let’s make it right
We are all one heart, one blood, one soul
Let love be the path that makes us whole
Oh, we are one, yeah, we are one
Underneath the heat of the same bright sun
We are one, we are one, oh
Pastor Peter’s prayer is ringing out
God bless South Africa, yeah
We are one, we are one
Come here, let’s build together
One love, one people, one heart
Yeah.
