Lyrics
Under the southern cross where my journey took root
Land of gold and of brave dreams pursued
From table mountains, gaze to the wild
Roving seas, South Africa my heart beats with thee
Rise up!
Oh voices
Across the sea and sand
My soul's homeland, for you I stand
Through every trial, our spirit flies free
South Africa, you are part of me
Boundless and bold, your wonders behold
Forever in my heart, your story unfolds
From the bustling streets of Josie's embrace
To the serene sunsets in Durban's grace
The echoes of the velt, the Karoo's vast expanse
In my soul they dance, in my dreams they prance
(In my dreams they prance)
Rise up!
Oh voices
Across the sea and sand
My soul's homeland, for you I stand
Through every trial, our spirit flies free
South Africa, you are part of me
Boundless and bold, your wonders behold
Forever in my heart, your story unfolds
In the whispers of the wind I hear your call
To the raging Cape of Storm where the mighty oceans roar
No distance too great, no journey too wide
It's your name on my lips with untamed pride
Rise up!
Oh voices
Across the sea and sand
My soul's homeland, for you I stand
Through every trial, our spirit flies free
South Africa, you are part of me
Boundless and bold, your wonders behold
Forever in my heart, your story unfolds
(As the evening star over the veld takes it up...)
(Over the veld takes flight..!)
Rise up!
Oh voices
Across the sea and sand
My soul's homeland, for you I stand
Through every trial, our spirit flies free
South Africa, you are part of me
Boundless and bold, your wonders behold
Forever in my heart, your story unfolds
Rise up!
Rise up!
