Sing Our Own Song Lyrics - Ub40

The great flood of tears that we've cried 

For our brothers and sisters who've died 

Over four hundred years 

Has washed away our fears 

And strengthened our pride 

Now we turn back the tide 

We will no longer hear your command 

We will seize the control from your hand 

We will fan the flame 

Of our anger and pain 

And you'll feel the shame 

For what you do in gods name 

We will fight for the right to be free 

We will build our own society 

And we will sing, we will sing 

We will sing our own song 

When the ancient drum rhythms ring 

The voice of our forefathers sings 

Forward Africa run 

Our day of freedom has come 

For me and for you 

Amandla Awethu 

We will fight for the right to be free 

We will build our own society 

And we will sing, we will sing 

We will sing our own song 

We will fight for the right to be free 

We will build our own society 

And we will sing, we will sing 

We will sing our own song
