Black is Beautiful

JOSEPH SHABALALA

I'm so glad
I'm glad to have many friends
Black and white, Indians and Coloureds
National, international

I'm proud
I'm proud, proud to be an African
African like you

I am happy
I am happy, happy to be black
Black like you

We-we-we
We were fearful
That our voices
Will be transferred
Into the machines
And we will no longer be able to see ourselves (What!?)
What was even worse, was that
We would continue to sing in the machines long after our death

I'm proud
I'm proud, proud to be an African
African like you
