'I Believe We Can Live In Harmony', the first song from the forthcoming album 'Radio Ubuntu' addresses the issue of xenophobia, immigration, poverty, and integration. Its intention is to convey a positive message of reconciliation and goodwill to a world in desperate need of healing.
lyrics
You cannot choose the colour of your skin
You cannot choose the country you were born in
You cannot choose your economic situation
You cannot choose your generation
I don’t care if you were born in the rural villages
I don’t care about your education
You cannot choose your sex
You cannot choose whether you’re good looking
You certainly cannot choose all these things
Yet you are judged by them every day
Xenophobia is a distraction
On the issue of immigration
In the spirit of integration
Let’s all look forward to liberation
I Believe, I Believe
We can Live in Harmony, We can Live in Harmony
I Believe, yeah I Believe
I Believe, I Believe
We are all children of migration
We can all live together
We are all moving towards one nation
Through the hard rain and stormy weather
I Believe, I Believe
We can Live in Harmony, We can Live in Harmony
I Believe, yeah I Believe
I Believe, I Believe
South Africa
Nigeria
DRC
Angola
Mozambique
Malawi
We Live in Harmony
I Believe, I Believe
We can Live in Harmony, We can Live in Harmony
I Believe, yeah I Believe
I Believe, I Believe
