Umhlaba Unzima (Still Be Kind)
A song made by Betta
(Awe... Yebo...)
In this dark world, we struggle, oh uMdali
But we must choose love
Eish, the world is heavy on our shoulders today
We struggle to survive, trying to find a way
Nations are fighting, brothers fighting brothers too
The children are crying, what are we to do?
They feed them the drugs, destroying the young
While we forget the songs our mothers sung
But don't lose your soul in the middle of the fight
We need to be the light
Even when the road is rough, let's still be kind
Khumbula uMdali, leave the hate behind
Ubuntu is the key, open up your mind
No matter where you come from, let's still be kind!
(Yebo! Sharp sharp!)
Even in the dark, let's still be kind
Our borders are heavy, a country in pain
With many challenges we cannot explain
But the stranger at your gate is a brother in need
Let's plant a flower, not a bitter seed
We struggle to make ends meet every day
But loadshedding can't take our spirit away
Let's raise our hands, make a joyful sound
Let love be found
Even when the road is rough, let's still be kind
Khumbula uMdali, leave the hate behind
Ubuntu is the key, open up your mind
No matter where you come from, let's still be kind!
(Awe! Shisa!)
Even in the dark, let's still be kind
Sharp sharp...
Let's heal the world, one heart at a time
Ubuntu... Yebo
