No force can defeat the greatest.
Nor men of stone, nor men of holy books.
We bow our heads low untill they touch the earth,
for the nation of stars and stripes.
(Hear not their call)
(Beat the drum proudly)
(Sing our great anthem loudly)
Praise the flag of white, red and blue,
for they bring freedom to the oppressed
and democracy to the suppressed,
'saving our lives', destroying who we are.
(Be not ashamed)
(listen to the rhythm within)
(Here are our homes, our roots, our kin)
Lay down your huts for builings tall.
The new set of values: stars and stripes.
Salute those soldiers from the home of the brave,
they die so far, from their land so 'free'.
(Do not be afraid)
(We are the Africans, brave)
(Go and find someone else to save)
