Colors:


The sun is shining
The children laughing, playing
Full of dreams to find
They all remind me
When I was a little boy
Full of life and pride

They look so peaceful
	Moshanyana weso bo' itumele	[My brother, be happy]
So sweet and graceful
	Ngwana weso bo' ithabise	[My sister, celebrate]
They're all so hopeful
	Moshanyana weso bo' itumele	[My brother, be happy]
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting

(Chorus)
It's time
	Ithabise			[Celebrate]
And this is meant to be your day
	Shine
	Ithabise			[Celebrate]
And in your heart you'll know it's time
	Ithabise			[Celebrate]
For you take your place
	Ithabise			[Celebrate]

Somtimes I wonder
Why people always seem
To turn around
And lose their way
Look out your window
Be grateful for this day
And make a change
It's okay

To be peaceful
	Moshanyana weso bo' itumele	[My brother, be happy]
And to be hopeful
	Ngwana weso bo' ithabise	[My sister, celebrate]
It's sweet and graceful
	Moshanyana weso bo' itmuele	[My brother, be happy]
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting

(Chorus)

Tsatsi lahao				[Your day]
Lefihlile				[Has come]
	Ithabise			[Celebrate]
	Ithabise			[Celebrate]
(Repeat)

(Chorus)
Ithabise				[Celebrate]
(Repeat to fade)
