Freedom day

Freedom day…was it worth the cause?

Are we free indeed despite all the flaws?

Let’s start afresh on freedom day

And free ourselves from moral decay

Let’s make a pledge to love one another

And serve our country as sister and brother

Let respect and dignity reside in our hearts

Let us free ourselves from the fiery darts

Let’s do it fellow women and men

And become a free South African gem

Let’s start afresh on freedom day…I PRAY!
