You are presuming that just because of my skin colour, I am "privileged". These singers were giving a tribute to the South Africans who lost their lives in abhorrent circumstances and many continue to struggle to this day. I personally love this song and it always makes me emotional when I hear it. Especially sung my native South Africans, with their beautiful mellow voices and natural harmonies.
Please @actionsrlouder, take this in the spirit it was given. It will help ease your pain too.
@actionsrlouder - It appears that you are ignorant of the struggle many white "privileged" people have too. Many "whites" or people of European decent are living in obscene poverty and are treated badly worldwide as well. Fighting for the ability to earn a living, their daily food and roofs over their heads... along with Asians, many indigenous races and people of African decent. This is NOT just an African problem. I am white skinned, yet my father is brown skinned - a maori.
we know exactly what this song is about... we have sung it in the townships in south africa where people were very moved by our suppport, and I am very clear to explain every time we sing this ...we are supporting your struggle...we live in a metropolis of culture and diversity...look closer at the choir.
@gitikapartington I never said you didn't understand the words you sang, on the contrary, I said you guys will never understand the true struggle and what it is to be under your dominion world wide. It takes more to a struggle than just singing songs. Renouncing to your white privilege would be a good start if you really care. By the way, this fight is beyond a physical one. There's a spiritual war going on for a long long time already and you guys were the vessels chosen for destruction.
My school did a version very similiar to this for our African guests. I was a soloist & Was congratulated by the African lady for my.. And I quote.. 'Stunning voice'..! I was rather chuffed XD
Made me sad as we used to sing this song during the S African student uprisings. Sinzinina. What have I done? What have I done?My only sin is the colour of my skin. Sinzinina. Sinzinina.

This song has transended its earlier Roots during the Apathied Era.
Other Cultures are now singing it as a tribute to the courage and resiliance of South Africans who suffered in those dark days.
So I commend those Cultures who show an appreciation of the History of this song.
I have some Zulu Blood in me and I do commend you for giving us this Tribute by this song.
The singing was heartfelt and God bless.

try looking up Power of One soundtrack, I believe it's the same song, though might have some slight differences.

They sound fantastic!
Just wondering if you know where to get the Lyrics sung here. There's few places to find them and most aren't complete.
Thanks a bunch for sharing!
