You fought the good fight!

You won the race

In defence of your race

You fought the good fight.

 

You fought the good fight!

Oh gallant daughter of Africa

And liberated South Africa;

You fought the good fight.

 

You fought the good fight!

And defeated the infamous apartheid

Without being afraid;

You fought the good fight.

 

You fought the good fight!

And stood by Madiba

Now you will join him in eternity;

You fought the good fight.

 

You fought the good fight

And inspired all women

To resist oppression from men;

You fought the good fight.

 

You fought the good fight

Amidst slander and calumny

And kept internal harmony;

You fought the good fight.

 

You fought the good fight

And left a lasting legacy—

A firm foundation for democracy;

You fought the good fight.

 

You fought the good fight!

So rest in peace

And enjoy divine grace

For you fought the good fight!
