Being a Xhosa Woman
I am proud of who I am
While respecting other cultures
I honour my womanhood
While I take pride in my manhood
Understanding it is to go through it
As I am comfortable in my own skin
Being inspired by the culture
May the ancestors be awakened
As I am raised in a Christian environment
Being mesmerised by faith
May the holy spirit fall on me
As I am about to raise the spear in the air
Being confident in my alignment
May the whole nation know
Appreciating my blessings
I am honoured of who I have become
While being thankful to the challenges and struggles
I cherish those sweet and sour memories
While I praise my enemies
To know it is to go through it
