Lyrics: I Saw a River by We Will Worship

I Saw a mighty river flowing with the spirit of ubuntu which sprang forth a cry of validation rhyming with the song of shosholoza.

A river with an African essence that quenches the spiritual thirst of the amarula and the kudu.

That river with a touch of Mageba and a tinge of Madiba which sweeps across the land with a declaration of victory when dust turns demonic shouting amandla in a time of famine that seeks to dismantle the strongholds of dear masakhane.

A river that begins with a basic akhuna mathata, then moves on with a flow of cultural inspiration that reaches forabantwana baseMzanzi, chorusing with a courageous enlightnement of ismoko and ending on a delightful note of ndo libua, ngiyabonga.

I saw a river that feeds an abundant nation with a distant people that would never cry silambile, retshwere ketlala when hunger hits the rocks of reality or in their fruitful context istokvel siyabeda

Come on bafowethu can you not feel this river that I am talking about,
can you not feel its sprinkle of avhusheni vhamakweru hoe lyk julle daar? that stretches from the east of the world to the west of my heart?

Can you not hear the sounds of the heavens as its creatures peek through its footholds and contest their holy barriers to creation,
beseeching the Creator himself with a heavily buzz that singsameni bazalwani ameni.

Oh this river without contamination from a delusional juba and without any rivalry from madimoni wamonagano or any so called beauty that seeks to overshadow the river not fully captured by my eye but also a river which enjoyably takes over my mind and gives me no hope of seeing darkness again.

This river that I surrender my thoughts of dinga la mbiluyanga through its skilled site that pronounces weakness unto my knees of valour.

This river without any flow of auspicious degradation, yet filled with the emotions that makes me turn to the land and say “may God bless you my nation” and appreciate its energy with is called the chi of imboza by the Chinese and labelled mollo of karma by the Indians and finally summarized by the Voortrekkers as unattainable kraag.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I saw a river, I saw a great,
Ngibone umfula, ngibone ubukhulu,
Kebone noka, Ke bone bugulu,
ni vhone nambu, ni vhone swikulu,
ndo vhona mulambo, ndo vhona zwihulu,

And the summary of my song..ladies and gentlemen, behold: the River of God!
