Marthie Nel Hauptfleisch - Cry,my Beloved Country

Cry, my beloved country

Chorus: Cry, my beloved country
Weep, weep, weep
for your son and daughter's leaving
Cry, my beloved country
And I don’t know
Would it really make a difference if I leave?

Bridge: Would I stay for the sun
That rises and shines
Over the colors of this rainbow land?
Would I stay for the mountain that rises in hope
Above all the fears and tears and stormy seas?

Chorus:

Verse 1: Yes I'll weep for my friends, I'll weep for you
You're the one I leave behind: you'll be always on my mind
I'll weep for the blood in my veins
Oh my love is stronger then before
For fathers, brothers, mothers, all


Verse 2: But I cannot stay to live this lie
Live my life behind a wall:
While there's warriors at war
Yes my Mother will cry, my dad asks why
But tell me one thing before I leave:
Is this the life you want to lead?

Chorus : Cry, my beloved country
Weep, weep, weep
For your son and daughter's leaving
Cry, my beloved country
And I don’t know
Would it really make a difference if I leave?
