Who owns the starlight Who owns the trees Who owns the rivers and who's the owner of the seas We own the words, the love and hope and the feel for respect We own the tears, the smiles and joy too many times we forget CHORUS Break down the walls inside our hearts and let us be united Break up the ice in our souls and love will rise again Who owns a woman Who owns a child Who owns a coloured man and who's the owner of our lives We own the wars, the rapes and crimes and the feel for regret We own the sorrow, the wounds and cries (lies) too many times we forget CHORUS
