RHODESIANS WORLDWIDE

May the mountains standing by you ever guard you,
And the rivers wash your spirit bright and clean;
May the animals and birds sing of the peace that is to come
And not the glory of a land that might have been.

May God be with you and keep you strong;
May your tomorrows be rich and long.

May the lives that you have taken be for reason,
And the pain that you have suffered make you strong.
May the seeds that you have sown bring out the fullness of the future -
May God give you the strength to right your wrongs.

It's just a dream, I know - but dreams set you free
Dreaming can ease your mind . . . and bring you peace

May the sweetness of your soil yet bring you riches,
And your pastures ever fill your belly's needs,
May the nations that you harbour find a way to live as one;
Keep your standards high - do not give in to greed.

May God be with you and keep you strong;
May your tomorrows be rich and long.
