  • A Song of Hope
    Look up, my people,
    The dawn is breaking,
    The world is waking
    To a new bright day,
    When none defame us,
    No restriction tame us,
    Nor colour shame us,
    Nor sneer dismay.
    Now brood no more
    On the years behind you,
    The hope assigned you
    Shall the past replace,
    When a juster justice
    Grown wise and stronger
    Points the bone no longer
    At a darker race.
    So long we waited
    Bound and frustrated,
    Till hate be hated
    And caste deposed;
    Now light shall guide us,
    No goal denied us,
    And all doors open
    That long were closed.
    See plain the promise,
    Dark freedom-lover!
    Night’s nearly over,
    And though long the climb,
    New rights will greet us,
    New mateship meet us,
    And joy complete us
    In our new Dream Time.
    To our fathers’ fathers
    The pain, the sorrow;
    To our children’s children
    The glad tomorrow.
