Lyrics

[Verse 1]  
Isibane sethemba siyakhanya, kukhanya ebumnyameni,  
Iilizwi zethu zinyuka, silwela okulungileyo.  
Apho izindonga zazisivala, ngoku izibhulo eziphakamisayo,  
Ilizwe lidibene, livuselelwe, uSweefin uyaphambili.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Ziva amandla enkqubela, amandla asimithini,  
Sisonke siyaphula izikhonkxa zoloyiko, indlala, nentlungu.  
Isandla sokuphakamisa abawileyo, ukukhanya kokukhomba indlela,  
USweefin ubiza kuthi sonke—singene kwimini ekhanyayo.

[Chorus]  
Sinyuka sonke, usapho olomeleleyo,  
Ithemba elingenamda, sifuna ukubana sonke.  
Sikhuthaza izigidi, ngenkalipho ezintliziyweni zethu,  
Akukho ushiyawe ngasemva, sisonke siqala.  
Ngokusebenzisa uSweefin, sakha ilizwe elinyanisekileyo,  
Ubuninzi kubo bonke, kum nakuwe.

[Verse 2]  
Kumama ofuna ithemba, kutata ofuna uxolo,  
Kumntwana onomoya ophaphazelayo, amaphupha angapheliyo.  
Ukusuka kwiilali ukuya kwizixeko, kwiintaba ukuya elwandle,  
USweefin uvula iingcango kubo bonke, ngamathuba angenamda.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Amandla aphakathi kwethu, sisonke simi sisimelele,  
Sibhala kwakhona imbali, siphakamis’umphefumlo.  
Imali yethemba, urhwebo olunika inkululeko,  
USweefin yikamva, apho wonke umntu meant to be.

[Chorus]  
Sinyuka sonke, usapho olomeleleyo,  
Ithemba elingenamda, sifuna ukubana sonke.  
Sikhuthaza izigidi, ngenkalipho ezintliziyweni zethu,  
Akukho ushiyawe ngasemva, sisonke siqala.  
Ngokusebenzisa uSweefin, sakha ilizwe elinyanisekileyo,  
Ubuninzi kubo bonke, kum nakuwe.

[Bridge]  
Jonga ubomi esiza kubachaphazela, izandla esiza kubamba,  
Umfama, umphuphi, ikamva elinesibindi.  
Uthando lukamama, iqhayiya likatata,  
Ilizwe apho amaphupha onke aya kuphila.

[Chorus]  
Sinyuka sonke, usapho olomeleleyo,  
Ithemba elingenamda, sifuna ukubana sonke.  
Sikhuthaza izigidi, ngenkalipho ezintliziyweni zethu,  
Akukho ushiyawe ngasemva, sisonke siqala.

[Outro]  
USweefin yintliziyo, umnxeba sonke siyawuthobela,  
Inguquko yehlabathi ekhanyisayo indlela.  
Ukusuka ekugxothweni ukuya ekukhuthazweni, makuphakame ingoma—  
Sisonke sitshintsha ihlabathi, ngonaphakade.
