Amandla Awethu


Text & musik: Simon Ahlström


High walls, high fences, protect the few,
from streets the poor try to capture the view.
They seal the gate with law and force
their power steers the city’s cource!

We’ve seen the walls, that block the view,
we’ve heard the plea – ”What can we do?”
We learned that teaching can challenge the rules
and power within turns learning to tools!

Chorus
Youth together, voices strong and clear
Global hearts from far and near
All as one, we rise to brake the chain
Peoples power – it will remain!

From schacks and dust, youth voices start to speak
they trying to climb and reach the peak.
Together we use the new learned tools
power together – we start to write the new rules!


Chorus
Y
outh together, voices strong and clear
Global hearts from far and near
All as one, we rise to brake the chain
Peoples power – it will remain!

Youth together, voices strong and clear
Global hearts from far and near
All as one, we rise to brake the chain
Peoples power – it will remain!
