Here is a song for you - about the past and the present, proudly South African: *TITLE: "From Then To Now"* *[Verse 1 - The Past]* I was born where the mountains touch the sky, Where my gogo told stories by the fire at night. Dust on my feet, in a township street, We had nothing, but our hearts beat strong. We sang freedom songs, though the road was long, Proudly South African, where I belong. ***_ Oh, I am proudly South African, From the Limpopo to the Cape of Good Hope. The blood of Mandela runs deep in my veins, I carry the rainbow, through joy and pain.[Chorus] *[Verse 2 - Today]* Now look at us, look how far we've come, Smartphones ringing, children on the run. Taxis hooting, cities shining bright, Same old sky, but a different light. We still struggle, but we still stand tall, Eleven languages, but one call. _*** Oh, I am proudly South African, From Mbombela to the streets of Jozi. The past taught us how to be strong, Now the present writes a brand new song.[Chorus] *[Bridge - How Everything Changed]* From kerosene lamp to electric light, From letters waiting to a phone tonight. From dirt roads to tar under my shoes, But ubuntu is a spirit we never lose. We changed, yes, the world has changed, But my heart is still proudly South African. *[Outro - Soft]* I am proudly South African... Yesterday taught me, Today made me, Tomorrow will not break me. Want me to make it in Amapiano or Gospel style and make it shorter for school?
