Today is the day, The day today, The impossible, I do hereby decide, My back, I turn, On the once giant mother, Now a just tattered street kid, The land of my father, The land of my mother, Zimbabwe my land, I leave them, Brothers and sisters, Cousins and friends, My wife and children, My mother and my father, Them I leave in unimaginable despair, In excruciating pain and murderous hunger, Them I leave, In terrible suffering, And bitter oppression, With no end in sight, I live to land of the unknown, When things fall into place, I will come to fetch you, Goodbye all, Again, we shall meet.

Turning my back
Today is the day, The day today, The impossible, I do hereby decide, My back, I turn, On the once giant mother, Now a just tattered street kid, The land of my father, The land of my mother, Zimbabwe my land, I leave them, Brothers and sisters, Cousins and friends, My wife and children, My mother and my father, Them I leave in unimaginable despair, In excruciating pain and murderous hunger, Them I leave, In terrible suffering, And bitter oppression, With no end in sight, I live to land of the unknown, When things fall into place, I will come to fetch you, Goodbye all, Again, we shall meet.
