Today for Zimbabwe

 

People so hungry for hope

They wave this flag without caution.

They will not wait,

They take their hope today

 

Today, shed their tears of joy

Today, dare to believe.

Today hope runs laughing through Harare

Weeping with joy in Bulawayo.

 

Today, speak without fear

Today, speak for yourself

The People are all tribes, all colors, today,

Soldiers and citizens, young and old.

 

Grace in disgrace,

Bob no longer your uncle.

Let tomorrow bring what it will,

Today is a day for Zimbabwe.

  1. Yes ,today is the day. The day bursting with hope. The future we leave for tomorrow. We have tried it before. In 1980 and in 2000.the feeling of being one Zimbabwe, where we all want to work together to build up Zimbabwe to her full,great potential.
