A village in a distand land
Calling thier name
The spirit of the jemba drum
Guiding thier way
Into thier dreams the ship set sail
Bound for far away
In the search for the shores of her bay
Cape Town
Ohhhh, cape town
Rode the liberation wave
Away from the tide
Searching for a better day
Babies trapped to thier sound
Not knowing where the ship would sail
Faith was all they had
And they finally found thier way home
To the land of love and freedom
To the place where we belong
Truth and reconciliation
Is what's going on
It's a time for celebration
The night has just begun
So dance in the light of the land
That they call cape town
MUSIC...
It's the land of love and freedom
To the place where we belong
Truth and reconciliation
It's what's going on
It's a time for celebration
The night has just begun
So dance in the light of the land of the sun
To the land of love and freedom
To the place where we belong
Truth and reconciliation
Is what's going on
It's a time for celebration
The night has just begun
So dance in the light of the land
