It's time we stood up for ourselves so get up off your knees.
We'll shake off our detractors and attain our hopes and dreams
and if we fall prey to in-fighting, we're never gonna win,
so put aside your differences, sing loud, sing proud
We won't listen to their stories or be waylaid by their lies
Join us in a song
we shall rise and sing
stand up and be counted
sing a song for liberty
join us in this song
together we shall sing
rise up and be counted
sing it loud, sing it proud
We've been brutalized and crucified, the brunt of their attacks,
