51 AND STILL COUNTING

FOR HALF A CENTURY................

We have embarked on a journey
A voyage to write our own story
Blessed by the best of atmospheric conditions
We were forged in the best of moral traditions

We have stood as one despite our diversity
And shown the world, class in our simplicity
We have been made the nation of choice
For Africa’s trigger and her resounding voice


We have remained unshakable despite the criticisms
Shown in all sectors, our professionalism
We have danced the streets as Champions
And demonstrated excellence on world podiums

We may still have a long way to go
So we stay driven by our desire to grow
We may have lost heroes in the fight for justice
But the reward is in the democracy we now practice

We have pursued innovation
Broken the barriers of mis-communication
We have joined hands to battle corruption
Because we are a good people, a great nation

As we cross to the next half of the century
Our faith and hope is tied in this guaranty
That no matter the storm or the adversity
We’ll remain one nation bound in freedom, peace and Unity

HAPPY BIRTHDAY --- MY COUNTRY
