Lyrics: It's Time

The sun is shining
The children laughing, playing
Full of dreams to find
They all remind me
When I was a little boy
Full of life and pride

They look so peaceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
So sweet and graceful
Ngwana weso bo' ithabise [My sister, celebrate]
They're all so hopeful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting

It's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And this is meant to be your day
Shine
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And in your heart you'll know it's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
For you take your place
Ithabise [Celebrate]

Somtimes I wonder
Why people always seem
To turn around
And lose their way
Look out your window
Be grateful for this day
And make a change
It's okay

To be peaceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
And to be hopeful
Ngwana weso bo' ithabise [My sister, celebrate]
It's sweet and graceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itmuele [My brother, be happy]
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting

It's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And this is meant to be your day
Shine
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And in your heart you'll know it's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
For you take your place
Ithabise [Celebrate]

Tsatsi lahao [Your day]
Lefihlile [Has come]
Ithabise [Celebrate]
Ithabise [Celebrate]
(Repeat)

It's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And this is meant to be your day
Shine
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And in your heart you'll know it's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
For you take your place
Ithabise [Celebrate]

Ithabise [Celebrate]
(Repeat to fade)
