There's a brawl in a lonely 'whites only' bar
A lekker groove in a classy shebeen
Someone betrayed in a government car
A silent movement on the stock market screenA watchman playing on a Zulu guitar
A white soldier's blues in camouflage green
A migrant worker who come too far
A sailor aground in a submarinePhendula wendoda
Lendlela sizofika kanjani
Phendula wendoda
Lendlela sizofika kanjaniTalk to the people
Walk through the country, oh
Listen to the children
Do you know the dreams they dream at night?Only you, only you can see me
Only you, only you can free me
Only you breathe life into the land
Touch me with your healing handThere's a township mongrel on the scrounge
A tribal feud in a municipal pound
A squatter with an ox, no land to plow
A shipment of A.K's on the undergroundA throw of the dice on a Soweto train
A waiting knife, if you should win the game
A human rights lawyer with a torture claim
A union activist never ever seen againPhendula wendoda
Lendlela sizofika kanjani
Phendula wendoda
Lendlela sizofika kanjaniTalk to the people
Walk through the country, oh
Listen to the children
Do you know the dreams they dream at night?Only you, only you can see me
Only you, only you can free me
Only you breathe life into the land
Touch mePhendula wemadoda, phendula, phendula
(Talk to me)
Phendula wemadoda, phendula, phendulaPhendula wemadoda, phendula, phendula
(Oh, they talk to me)
Phendula wemadoda, phendula, phendulaPhendula wemadoda, phendula, phendula
(Talk to me)
Phendula wemadoda, phendulaGod hear the children
God save the country, oh
God hear the people
God bless the dreams we dream at night?Talk to the people
Walk through the country, oh
Listen to the children
Do you know the dreams they dream at night?Only you, only you can see me
(It's only you)
Only you, only you can free me
(It's only you)Only you, only you can see me
(It's only you)
Only you, only you can free meOnly you, only you can see me
Only you, only you can free me
Only you, only you can see me
Only you, only you can free me
