[Verse]
Stand up
Rise up
Let your voice be heard
We're fighting for justice
Not just mere words
The time is now
We won't be deterred
Demanding freedom
Let the truth be stirred
[Verse 2]
Innocent lives
Torn apart by oppression
We won't back down
It's our righteous mission
We won't be silenced
This is our expression
Break the chains of apartheid
End the division
[Chorus]
Stand tall
United we'll fall
Seeking justice for all
We're breaking down walls
No more apartheid
No more inequality
Together we rise
Demanding unity

A Hero Named Mandela
02:24
|
|
||
[Verse]
In the land of Africa
Where freedom reigns
A hero named Mandela
Broke the chains
He fought for justice
Equality too
A symbol of hope for me and for you
[Verse 2]
He spoke of unity
And peace he'd seek
But he knew the fight
Was not just for the weak
He said
"We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians"
[Verse 3]
He stood for the oppressed
His heart was pure
Spoke against apartheid
That evil
For sure
From Robben Island
To the streets of Soweto
His spirit lives on
In every word we know

One love
One world
That's what we preach
The African Union standin' up for peace
Decisions made
Strong and true
Supportin' Palestine fightin' for what's due
[Verse 2]
Solidarity from Africa to the globe
No more oppression
It's time to explode
The AU takin' a stand
Supportin' independence for the Palestinian land
[Verse 3]
We shoutin' revolution
Standin' tall and strong
Together we fight for where we belong
The African Union leadin' the way
Supportin' Palestine every single day

[Verse]
In the land of unity
We gather 'round
No room for hatred
We're breaking new ground
Love is the answer
Let it be heard
Together we'll rise
Spreading the word
Babylon
Step aside
We're taking control
With open hearts
We'll heal every soul
No more division
No more hate
Harmony and love
It's never too late
[Chorus]
In this fight against ethno-nationalism
We stand tall
For unity and justice
We give our all
The one-state solution
Let it prevail
In South Africa
Where love will never fail

No Peace Without Justice
01:35
|
|
||
[Verse]
No peace
No justice
It's a cry from the heart
In this world so torn apart
We must chart a new start
Israel and Palestine
Caught in a vicious cycle
No peace on their shores
Just piles of broken idols
[Verse 2]
The struggle for freedom
It's been going on for years
With innocent bloodshed
It's crystal clear
No peace for Israel
Without justice for Palestine
It's time to unite
Break the chains that confine
[Chorus]
No peace without justice
Let love guide the way
In this world of darkness
Let's bring light and stray
No peace without justice
It's time to heal the pain
For Israel and Palestine
Let harmony reign

We Bleed Together
02:00
|
|
||
[Verse 1]
The land of Jah
Where the sun used to shine
Palestine and South Africa
A struggle intertwined
Oppressed by the system
But united by our pain
The cries of liberation
Echo through the rain
[Verse 2]
From Gaza to Soweto
We stand hand in hand
Facing the same battles
In this unjust land
The tears may flow freely
But hope will never fade
For we bleed together
In this struggle we have made
[Chorus]
Oh
We bleed together
The wounds of injustice run deep
From Palestine to South Africa
A fight we'll forever keep
We'll rise above the darkness
With love as our guiding light
We bleed together
Shining in the face of the night

War-torn Hearts

|

[Verse]
Mama
Tell me 'bout the pain and the sorrow
Of Palestinian mothers and children
Tomorrow
War-torn hearts
Broken dreams and lost hope
Surviving each day on a tightrope
They cope (oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Mama
Can you hear their cries in the night?
Innocence lost
Like stars fading out of sight
Their tears falling like rain on the desert sand
As bombs and bullets pepper their homeland
[Verse 3]
Mama
I see the fear in their weary eyes
As they pray for peace under darkened skies
Running from the violence and the flames
Searching for shelter
But finding only remains

People of South Africa
Hear dem call
Stand with Palestine
Together we can stand tall
In the face of oppression
Let us be the voice
United we fight
We make the right choice
[Chorus]
In this world of struggle
We understand the pain
For justice and freedom
Our hearts will remain
From Soweto to Gaza
We hold each other's hand
Side by side we'll march
To justice's promised land
[Verse 2]
Apartheid and occupation
Different faces of the same fight
We won't give up
We won't back down
No matter how dark the night
The spirit of Ubuntu
It flows through our veins
With love and compassion
We break down the chains
[Chorus]
In this world of struggle
We understand the pain
For justice and freedom
Our hearts will remain
From Soweto to Gaza
We hold each other's hand
Side by side we'll march
To justice's promised land
[Outro]
From Soweto to Gaza
We hold each other's hand
Side by side we'll march
To justice's promised land

March for Freedom
01:45
|
|

[Verse]
Marching in unity
From Cape Town to Johannesburg
Fighting for justice
For Palestine
We boldly trod
With every step we take
Our voices rise in song
Demanding liberation
As we march strong
Marching hand in hand
From sea to shining sea
In solidarity we stand
For the land of the free
With each beat of the drum
We feel the rhythm of our hearts
United we shall overcome
Tearing down the walls apart
[Verse 2]
Through the valleys and the plains
Our march echoes loud and clear
For the rights of the oppressed
We won't shed a single tear
From Soweto to Gaza
The flames of hope ignite
Every step we take
We'll keep up the fight

Zion Delusion
01:51
|
|
||
[Verse]
Rising sun feel the beat
Feel the rhythm feel the heat
Zion calling in my soul
I can feel it taking control
Delusion running wild
In the heart of every child
Sense of grandeur in the air
We're gonna make it we don't care
[Verse 2]
Jah is watching from above
Spreading peace and spreading love
In this world of illusion
Let's find our own conclusion
Zion is the place to be
Where the people can be free
But sometimes we lose our way
Get lost in this game we play
[Chorus]
Zion delusion
Sense of grandeur
Oh yeah
Let the reggae music take you there
Oh yeah
Feel the rhythm
Feel the beat
Let your spirit guide your feet
Zion delusion
Sense of grandeur
Oh yeah
