Who owns the starlight
who owns the trees
who owns the rivers
and who's the owner of the seas
We own the words, the love and hope
and the feel for respect
we own the tears, the smiles and joy
too many times we forget
Chorus
break down the walls
inside our hearts
and let us be united
break up the ice
in our souls
and love will rise again
Who owns a woman
who owns a child
who owns a coloured man
and who's the owner of our lives
We own the wars, the rapes and crimes
and the feel for regret
we own the sorrow, the wounds and cries (lies)
too many times we forget
Chorus
