We wanna free the land
We wanna free the land
We wanna free the land


Detainee in detention
Under interrogation

They've paid that price
With their lives
The struggle for liberation

Just how long can this go on
Apartheid system is so wrong
Open a new chapter

Them boot out Botha

Dem boot out Botha

And free Nelson Mandela
No apartheid in a South Africa


Ow
Wanna free the land
Wanna free the land

Wanna free the land

They're searching for identity

In townships plagued in poverty
They've worked so hard
In gold mines

We call it urban slavery
Just how long can this go on
Apartheid system is so wrong

Open a new chapter
Them boot out Botha


Soweto, Johannesburgh
Durban, we must be heard
Capetown, Johannesburgh

Free Mandela He must be heard
