The

boxes
opened
and
the

was
plain
to
see
A
journey
of
determination,
now
we
have
the
victory
You

play
all
night
Longwani
is
the
leader,
everything
is
going
right
The
road
was
never
easy,
you
faced
the
wind
and
rain
But
you
stayed
focused,
rising
up
above
the
pain
You
listened
to
the
mothers
and
you
listened
to
the
youth
You
never
traded
lies
for
the
power
of
the
truth
Now
the
mandate
is
given,
the
trust
is
in
your
hand
To
build
a
better
future
for
the
people
of
this
land
The
drums
are
calling
out,
the
rhythm
fills
the

We

with
hearts
that
really
care
