The sun is shining, the children laughing, playing
Full of dreams to find
They all remind me, when I was a little boy
Full of life and pride

They look so peaceful
(Moshanyana weso bo' itumele)
So sweet and graceful
(Ngwana weso bo' ithabise)

They're all so hopeful
(Moshanyana weso bo' itumele)
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting

It's time
(Ithabise)
And this is meant to be your day, shine
(Ithabise)

And in your heart you'll know it's time
(Ithabise)
For you take your place
(Ithabise)

Sometimes I wonder why people always seem
To turn around and lose their way
Look out your window, be grateful for this day
And make a change, it's okay

To be peaceful
(Moshanyana weso bo' itumele)
And to be hopeful
(Ngwana weso bo' ithabise)

It's sweet and graceful
(Moshanyana weso bo' itumele)
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting

Tsatsi lahao lefihlile
(Ithabise, ithabise)
Tsatsi lahao lefihlile
(Ithabise, ithabise)

Ithabise
Ithabise
Ithabise
