[Verse 1]
Sometimes
It falls upon a generation
To be great
I ask all humanity now
To rise up
Then we can all stand
With our heads
Held high
[Chorus]
To rise up
To rise up
[Verse 2]
You have a limited time
To stay
On earth
You must try and use that period
For the purpose
Of transforming your country
Into what you desire it to be
A democratic, non-racial, non-sexist country
And that is a great task
[Chorus]
To rise up
To rise up
To rise up
To rise up
