The victims of oppression
    I had a vision of a new world
  Another hidden in the southern plain
  Far away from the western wars
  And in this land we shall start again
    But in his anger...is a nation broken in two
  And the doors of ? shall be open for the chosen few
  And we call this land South Africa
  The Cape of hope to a northern star
  But that hope and peace will never be far
  Johannesburg
  Johannesburg
    And we raise our children
  By the blade and bullet they learn
  But unrest in the homeland
  Crowds gather, the township burns
    We stand divided
  But together we will show them all
  We can stand for so long
  We break away for the good of us all
    And we call this land South Africa
  The Cape of hope to a northern star
  But that hope and peace will never be far
  Johannesburg
  Johannesburg
  Johannesburg
    Here's to the future
  To a future we may never see
  Here's to the brave new world
  May we live in harmony
    And we call this land South Africa
  The Cape of hope to a northern star
  But that hope and peace will never be far
  Johannesburg
  Johannesburg
