Life Is for Living

So why do we hate?
So why must we wait?
We all need some loving

We all need some loving
We've got to stop the tears
We are all living in fears
So raise your voices for him
So why must we wait?
Say life is for living
People have to fight to live together
Say life is for living
So why do we hate?
So why must we wait?

In South Africa things are still the same
We all need some loving
We will bring down the apartheid wall
Give a shoulder to lean on when they fall
Give a shoulder to lean on when they fall

If we listen to others when they call
We can make this a better place for all
Innocent people pay with their lives
If we listen to others when they call
Woza Mandela

Say life is for living
Woza Mandela
And share with one another

So why do we hate? I don't know
Mandela's life is wasted in jail
We will bring down the apartheid wall
Sibizi' gama lakho
We can make this a better place for all
So why must we wait?
We all need some loving
'Cause the truth, it cuts like a knife
The face of humanity still hasn't changed
So why do we hate?

Say life is for living
