Intro
If you look across the river, you'll find a friendly face
The great Limpopo River full of power, full or grace
It forms a common boundary between you and me
South from the Zambezi to Rhodesia by the sea
Chorus
These are our lands, both young and free
These are our lands, where it's good to be
Where the sun shines down and the wild rivers run
And the warm wind blows when the day is done
Inyanga's mighty forest, the Golden City's mines
The valley of a thousand hills, Kariba's powerlines
These are just a part of two proud and mighty lands
Helping one another with strong and willing hands
Chorus
The blue skies up above us reflect our smiling face
From the fairest cape in all the world to Rhodes resting place
We'll stand together firmly in each others hour of need
The flame lily of friendship is a friendly flame indeed
