Fearless Fighters

~Fearless Fighters~

And there we have them
A team of believers 
Who believed in our freedom

Dreamers who had faith 
In there dreams
Brave warriors who knew the worth
Of United African Nations

Relentless freedom fighters
with great thirst for freedom
Fearless mothers and fathers
Who sacrificed much for their many children

Musicians
who sang against segregation
a multitude of Civilians
who were hungry for civilization

They faught in the rains
They faught in the Summers
Until all nations
At some point emerged winners

Though with great 
shed of innocent human blood
They all fought with one spirit
One mind

Therefore on this special day
We stand as a people with on mind
To affirm that we shall protect and embrace
The history and culture
Our heroes wrote with their own blood

But this serves as a reminder
That our Victor's victory wasn't about winning a war
But uniting a people of different races and cultures
Preaching oneness though with different skin colours
WE ARE ONE

AFRICA FREEDOM DAY
