You westerners have chosen the way of atheism and robbed your children and your children’s children the opportunity of experiencing the truly profound at an early age. It is the very foundation for soaring towards the sublime in later years. Such a deep pity I feel for you westerners. Your forebears knew better.
I’m so sorry for your loss. In the spirit of the song, may The Lord comfort you and lead you through life’s journey and it’s tragedies. I lost my husband some years ago so I know what you’re going through. It gets better with time, trust me.
The lead singer’s name is Phila Mpofu and she has her own UA-cam channel with this song titled “Bawo.” She is a young Christian girl who wants to sing. Please help support her channel 🙏🏾
@@sonyathompson424it’s great that they teach the boys to sing bass and tenors with their new deep voices so beautifully in harmony. If that happened here in Europe we’d probably have more bondship and knowledge of place in this crazy world!
Goosebumps is the perfect word to describes what I felt the first time I heard her voice. And I think this the only time in my life I felt that. It's so rare to feel that. Above all, in today soulless music era
As a young child I remember watching the film about rourkes drift a British film about a battle the British won against the Zulu but at the end of the film the Zulu start to sing i never heard something like it before and it’s all I took away from that film was my love of South African singing iv loved it ever since , the lead singer is more of a conductor the boss , it’s just fantastic.
Very moving interpretation. It is a song performed by the students of Soqhayisa Secondary School. They sing a song called “Ndiphe Olothando” which means “Grant unto Me Divine Love”.
I’m a Maori woman from New Zealand and I absolutely love seeing these videos where you can see as well as feel the love of music and the rhythm in their bones. It’s just like home. Absolutely beautiful….. and that lady singing lead..Tumeke 🥰😇🥰
@shelleymiddlebrook1265 This really was beautiful. I’m not a religious man but this was definitely special. I kind of feel the same way, though not as intense, as when I watched a video some years back of a NZ couple at their wedding and the groomsmen all started a Haka to honour them. I don’t think I have ever been so moved by something as I was by that moment. I’m not ashamed to say that it moved me to tears. I didn’t understand the language and I’ve sadly never been to NZ (yet!) but it was so pure and so powerful that I completely felt the incredibly strong energy and understood the message. It was just amazing to me that something that upon first glance and being a total outsider can look so intimidating and threatening but yet convey such love and support and emotion. (I’ve watched many more Haka videos since then and know that Haka is many more things then just a challenge) As you can tell, it really struck something in me. I hope to one day visit NZ and perhaps witness it in person. Much love and respect to you, the Maori and all First Nations and Indigenous peoples around the world from 🇨🇦
I am not from a tribe of any kind I was raised in a cult, our music was very dull more of a dirge than anything else. I managed to get away from that and did some travelling. I happened to help a neighbour out at Waitangi Day celebrations. (She made huge batches of curried chicken and mussels with rice &would need help on the day). At one point in the afternoon they did musical and dance performances. I had seen a Haka so thought I knew what to expect, how naive I was. As soon as they started to sing I had this visceral reaction, I don't even know where it came from but, I sobbed big, ugly, tears for the whole performance. It was so very beautiful to me. My neighbour thought I was nuts. I'm sure you won't care, but I just wanted to say I had this similar experience with Music from your home. ❤️🖖🏼
I have no words. The lead vocalist is TRULY gifted. It has to literally be a part of your soul in order to sound like that. You can see she inspires the same in the others. All of them come together .... and what we hear is pure magic. Breathtaking.
Because it is part of the culture over there. Black culture, that is. Music was a very important protest tool during Apartheid, and its now ingrained in the society, post-Apartheid. These angels grew up with song around them, which is why they are such wonderful singers, even with little direction or supervision.
@mulondokalemera7531 In all of Africa music and dance has always been an In tegral part of society and culture, South Africa is not unique in that. My amazement is that they seem to have this natural , unrehearsed gift of harmonising which I don't see anywhere else. In terms of dance....Well Africans all over the continent have that natural gift .
@@kehindeemiabata4032 I am African, so I know. I was lucky enough to grow up in East Africa and then live and work in South Africa for a good amount of time - so I can compare the two different societies. Music and song is a bigger part of South African society than any East African society; their protests, for example, are 90% song (and toyi-toying - look it up). The harmonisation you see, the singing in sync; it is much more part of a typical South African upbringing than any other African community elsewhere.
Black people mostly sing at home without instruments and develop their voices as instruments. On the other hand, white people tend to buy all kinds of instruments and music players so they don't develop their voices as instruments nearly as much.
I'm a Maori woman from Aotearoa, New Zealand and I get so moved by African music. The harmonies are so powerful they bring such emotion to the foreign ear. I hope you understand how absolutely beautiful this is ❤
Respect, I have always loved South African music , black lady mambazoo. I’m sure I’m misspelling their name . I can’t wait to visit SA and see it for myself.
❤ HALLELUYAH!!!! LEAVE THE WESTERN TEACHINGS IN AMERICA!!!! KEEP YOUR HOMELAND VERY CLOSE TO YOUR HEART!!!! TEACH ME FAMILY!!! I WANNA GO HOME, JERUSALEM WHERE TMH YAH RESIDES!! ❤❤❤❤ ALL GLORY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
This is a fair statement. There is an internal work that needs doing on the heels of struggle but we will overcome with these young people that are seeing freedom.

We Mississippians know what it is to call on The Most High with a large group of family and cousins in harmony!!! We hear u. Our cuzzins across the water!!❤❤❤❤
I'm from west Africa and i don't undertand nothing in this song. But i've watched this video for many times. They sing is like something coming from deep of they heart. I'm crying with tears right kown when lesting the song. God bless you young south Africa teens. God bless all african around the World. One love and big up.
I am German permanently living in West Africa, my tears are running so great is the power, the joy and faith echoing in those singing and us hearing this Love Song to the Creator, such incredible unity and harmony which if ever Europeans could feel also and live and share. Thank you South Africa, thank you Africa, this.....the soul echoing from what is alive here ..is thecreason why I live on this continent..'.The same powerful energy comes back re-echoing from all over Africa, it is so Magic...

My family came to South Africa in July 2023 and we stayed at the Nkambeni safari camp in Mpumulanga for several days. On our last night which happened to be my Son's 24th birthday, the staff came out and sang this song to him. First off I must say that I was so moved in my spirit and blessed by the song, I KNEW THEY WERE PRAISING YAH and ALSO SPEAKING A BLESSING UPON OUR SON'S LIFE. WHAT A BLESSING TO HAVE BEEN MINISTERED TO BY OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO SHOWED US SUCH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. I MISS SA VERY DEARLY, BUT NOW I KNOW,..WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF YAH AND HE HAS A PLAN TO REDEEM HIS CHILDREN. SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL...SUCH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE and THAT"S BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF YAH IS UPON THEM. ALL PRAISES...PEACE AND BLESSING TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ON THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA - FROM AMERICA...WE HOPE TO BE HOME WITH YOU ALL SOMEDAY SOON 💞❤💞
As a Liberian, I’ve admire South Africans unique voice. From Sarafina to Mariam Makebah, their natural voice leaves you with goose bumps. A normal school devotion looking like a mass choir performing at a grand event.
I have watched this about 20 times and I may not know the language, but I feel the power of God in it. The prayer is powerful in song. Just awesome. Praise God!
When I went to South Africa I saw a group of students singing like this by the waterfront and it gave me chills and made me tear up. The harmony is beautiful. I didn’t even know what they were singing but I could feel it was divine. You can FEEL the divine
Music Is Life, It Grows, It is Emotive....I am by GOD'S amazing Grace, just turned 90. I am still in unbelief, but continuing to worship GOD and praising Him with Songs of Praise for the residue of my days. I am from. West Africa... Thanks This mass choir of South African School Children singing Bawo, has elevated me.
Truly beautiful! As an African American whose never been to Africa, I feel this is what the songs sound and felt like from our ancestors! And although we are thousands of miles apart, these powerful young people show their spirit is still alive! I said a prayer over all of their lives that God would Bless And Keep them All the days of their lives. Keep singing young people and keep leading them young lady! Powerful voice!! 👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@leadaheadleadahead2187we worship our Father who's SO NINI NA NINI = I AM THAT I AM & that has nothing to with Christianity & further more there's a distinct difference between what Christianity is & the GOD of shembe & what the figures like Moshue = Moses worshipped & we worship our father & we are his children I'm Nguni & his a son of naphtali genesis 46;24 all Bantu people come from that biblical linage 😊
I don't speak the language however they are definitely anointed. I feel it in my spirit and something in me calls me to this song. Beautiful! I get chills whenever I hear it
@@quickstep2408 I mention it because I wanted them to know their singing transcends race, age, and colour. That’s an important point. I’m sorry if it offended or triggered you for some reason. You are certainly the one to make an issue of it and lower the tone. Do better please.
In America our queen of soul is Aretha Franklin. I truly think this young girl sings with more soul than she did. Sorry Mom. And these kids are so much happier than the kids here. They are obviously loved and cared for by their community. You all deserve all the credit in the world. So beautiful. Keep singing young lady- protect your voice though- you go really hard. Thank you all- cheers me up every time
Wish I had an extended version so I can't just play on repeat. Lead singers voice is so powerful and strong, Beautiful song well done choir !!!! #Amazing
I’m from the USA Louisiana and I’ve heard a many beautiful things but never like this! The lead singer is truly blessed and will go very far with that voice. It’s a must that I learn this song in its originality even though I don’t understand a word of it. Im crying just listening. Oh how beautiful!
You are very welcome. We receive scores of tourists and visitors daily. It’s a beautiful country. Check out videos of some African Americans and Africans who visited and decided to move to SA for good. One love ❤
As a South African I find it ma bit strange when people ask how we easily harmonise. For us it would be weird if you are in a crowd of people, sing a song and they don't harmonise😮. We go to funerals with strangers and sing together in harmony, weddings parties, even strikes... It's just normal life. I didn't know that was not the norm for other countries.
Me too. I don’t get it. Why would people need singing lessons for songs like this? Doesn’t it come natural? You just sing guided from the inside and then you form a dance🤷♀️
It's the norm for other black cultures all over the world. For example, black Americans have especially been known globally for their music for hundreds of years, with almost every American music genre coming from them. However, other cultures don't necessarily have musical cultures; so, no, it's not the norm for every single country. Every culture doesn't sing on a regular basis, or place importance on singing. In some cultures, singing is forbidden on religious grounds.
Song, especially singing in harmony, is so powerful! I'm Dutch and in my village we used to sing out loud in church, in harmony. How much comfort and release it gives, especially at funerals. And how awkward to go to a cremation and sit and listen to a tape of someone else's music. But no one sings like South Africans. Bee you ti full.
The passion of these children lifting their voices - how beautiful! Look how much fun they’re having. Wish I could be part of something like that. God bless you children of South Africa.
So beautiful. I love how she pointed at Him up above in the end and they all followed suit. I imagine God turned around from whatever he was doing that morning just to hear them sing.
She is obviously an excellent dancer... and she does it subconsciously... like second nature to her. I think the video was focused on her deliberately. This is so awesome
Can't stop listening to this song! My algorithm showed me this video and I hadnt known anything about south african music before. Greetings from Germany.
They singing not knowing we bout to be watching all the way here from America crazy...good job children, hopefully my family and I can move to Africa soon.
Watching from Maryland in the US and I've always admired African culture so much. The patterns are colorful and bright and gorgeous, the songs and dances are all so full of life and bring such joy. Nothing makes me feel so much joy down to the core of my being as hearing Africans sing their songs. I so long for culture like this in my life. We are so disconnected from everything over here.
South Africans have natural rhythm. I am proudly South African and extremely proud to be called South African. Love everything about all the cultures, the rest will never understand the bond I have with remarkable country. Love you ❤❤❤❤
I close my eyes and feel the spirits of my ancestors from Africa listening to this....and l live and was born in London. No one can break the spiritual connection we have. Awesome ❤
I look at them, we are a part of them and they are a part of us (African Americans). So much love in their hearts just the way we use to know love among our friends and family here in USA. I get a message from this song. As they plead with the Father for protection and thank Him for protection, we need to do the same 100% here in America. Same blood line, same power all we have to do is raise our voices in the same child like faith and things will be better for us here in America. I am so inspired by that great union and fellowship that is with them. Love you South Africa. Love you Motherland❤❤❤.
This song gave me the shivers. I don't understand these words in my conscious mind but i somehow know them in my soul and it humbles me. These are my people as I'm a Jamaican. Love AFRICA my motherland from whence they took my ancestors.
Am I the only one who got goose bumps from watching this? If only my girls school assemblies had been this uplifting. The harmony and rhythm is so beautiful and soothing and so precious. This definitely bought a tea tree to my eyes. (In a good way). ❤❤❤❤
I just needed to hear this beautiful young lady and these kids sing this wonderful song today. On repeat...I can't even understand what they're saying, they just sound amazing

It is the very foundation for soaring towards the sublime in later years. Such a deep pity I feel for you westerners. Your forebears knew better.
My wife's funeral was yesterday. I'm listening to this in bed crying because it's so beautiful.
May God Almighty keep comforting you.
GOD BLESS YOU
My condolences to you and your family. May the Lord keep and comfort you in your time of loss.
May the Holy Spirit comfort you and give you peace.

The lead singer has a beautiful powerful voice.
The way they harmonise is enough to give me goosebumps
I am African American I never been to Africa, just listening to this my body is crying and longing to know my people in Africa.
@@sonyathompson424it’s great that they teach the boys to sing bass and tenors with their new deep voices so beautifully in harmony. If that happened here in Europe we’d probably have more bondship and knowledge of place in this crazy world!
Stunningly beautiful heartfelt singing thankyou .
Goosebumps is the perfect word to describes what I felt the first time I heard her voice.
And I think this the only time in my life I felt that.
It's so rare to feel that. Above all, in today soulless music era

Bawo means father which referring to God. They are saying thank you father for protecting me and calming my fears.
I want to learn this song, please! Anyone know the lyrics?
powerful!
Amen to that powerful prayer song to TMH.
No wonder I feel so much calmness whenever I watch the video even though I don't understand the words. Thank you father 🙏🔥

How is it that all South Africans can sing? You put 100 or 1000 South African in a room, and you'll get natural harmony....its just beautiful.

Isn’t it amazing how even if we have no idea what they are saying, the sound of their voices moves us to tears.
I’m from UK and don’t understand a word and I’m in tears too.
Certainly different to the dirge hymns we used to sing.

The base from the back gave me goose bumps 😊
And harmony
There is nothing better. No music. Just a natural born talent.
They have beautiful voices! It's good to see a school sing together.👍🙏🙌☝️👏
That lead girl was owning it😊
It used to be done in the US but no more
We've singing and singing even during our struggles we sand gospel and struggles songs
Nothing more beautiful than the sound of African voices. Greetings from England 🙋🏻♂
We are such a beautiful people, from North, West, East and South. Thanks BAWO for us!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad you can see the beauty GOD gave in your people!
Bless you God for this words 🙏

I have watched this about 20 times and I may not know the language, but I feel the power of God in it. The prayer is powerful in song. Just awesome. Praise God!
The language they are singing in is called IsiZulu
Me too 😀
Just seek here at youtube for Bawo lyrics
This is what heaven will be sounding like. Glorious and full of praises.
Sing, with stronge voices
I want heaven ❤🎉
Exactly! Amen. The angels singing praises to God, night and day.
When I went to South Africa I saw a group of students singing like this by the waterfront and it gave me chills and made me tear up. The harmony is beautiful. I didn’t even know what they were singing but I could feel it was divine. You can FEEL the divine
I'm 52 born and raised in America so why these babies singing this song got me in tears 😢😢😢❤❤
its quite a spiritual song, the lyrics also have power that connects you to God
These children are annointed! God grant them many blessings! May I be greeted by such a heavenly sound when I ascend to the next world!
Amen
Thats african....children of the light
@@darkangelsu2108not everyone in Africa is Christian these are my people. They don't belong to Africa but to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Music Is Life, It Grows, It is Emotive....I am by GOD'S amazing Grace, just turned 90. I am still in unbelief, but continuing to worship GOD and praising Him with Songs of Praise for the residue of my days. I am from. West Africa...
Thanks
This mass choir of South African School Children singing Bawo, has elevated me.

Believe in God and experience His love, mercy, peace and joy you find in Him.
I am indian but i couldn't stop crying listening to this
Why should being Indian stop you from crying
@@CaptainCubBossathey probably meant they don’t understand what they’re saying lol
I cried too😢❤
Truly beautiful! As an African American whose never been to Africa, I feel this is what the songs sound and felt like from our ancestors! And although we are thousands of miles apart, these powerful young people show their spirit is still alive! I said a prayer over all of their lives that God would Bless And Keep them All the days of their lives. Keep singing young people and keep leading them young lady! Powerful voice!! 👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It’s a Christian worship song
@@leadaheadleadahead2187we worship our Father who's SO NINI NA NINI = I AM THAT I AM & that has nothing to with Christianity & further more there's a distinct difference between what Christianity is & the GOD of shembe & what the figures like Moshue = Moses worshipped & we worship our father & we are his children I'm Nguni & his a son of naphtali genesis 46;24 all Bantu people come from that biblical linage 😊
These children have such modest looks on their faces, completely unaware of how heavenly and beautiful they sound.
No need for an amplifier. Those riffs and runs❤ so beautiful
They are so incredible. And the lead vocalist,🎉🎉❤❤ she is not even using a microphone. So powerful. Goosebumps all over.
I don't speak the language however they are definitely anointed. I feel it in my spirit and something in me calls me to this song. Beautiful! I get chills whenever I hear it
As a white, English pensioner, can I say how wonderful this is? Just so amazing, breath taking.
Who is SO tired of this kind of comments?🤚
Of course you can ❤
@@gigiatlas2364 you, obviously. Don’t you have a life to live instead of criticising someone else’s heart felt comment? Do better!
@@Lynnefromlynbecause you don't have to mention your race at all. just enjoy the damn song 🤦♂
@@quickstep2408 I mention it because I wanted them to know their singing transcends race, age, and colour. That’s an important point. I’m sorry if it offended or triggered you for some reason. You are certainly the one to make an issue of it and lower the tone. Do better please.
Idk a single south African who can’t sing. And most of them have never taken a vocal class. It’s so beautiful
The wait for the lead singer was brutal ❤❤😢
Pure angels from heaven
In America our queen of soul is Aretha Franklin. I truly think this young girl sings with more soul than she did. Sorry Mom. And these kids are so much happier than the kids here. They are obviously loved and cared for by their community. You all deserve all the credit in the world. So beautiful. Keep singing young lady- protect your voice though- you go really hard. Thank you all- cheers me up every time
Aretha voice moved the world. RIP
True.
Wish I had an extended version so I can't just play on repeat. Lead singers voice is so powerful and strong, Beautiful song well done choir !!!! #Amazing
One single vocalist balancing a huge whole harmonic choral group! Nice!
this song is my lullaby...they sing me to sleep every night. ❤
I’m from the USA Louisiana and I’ve heard a many beautiful things but never like this! The lead singer is truly blessed and will go very far with that voice. It’s a must that I learn this song in its originality even though I don’t understand a word of it. Im crying just listening. Oh how beautiful!
I have goosebumps all over my body, it's so beautiful! 🥰 Greetings from Central Europe.
Fabulous, girl nearest camera really wants to get the party going🤣
I swear 😂😂 been laughing she's ready
😂😂😂😂😂
I was waiting for her to break out😄she had the rhythm in her!
How can I like this a million times, I wanna visit South Africa 😩🥺❤️
I wouldn’t if l were you. It’s one of the most dangerous countries on earth. Tourists have been held up at gun point, kidnapped or worse…
Be very very careful. Please do your research.
You should get your own experience! Beautiful country!
You are very welcome. We receive scores of tourists and visitors daily. It’s a beautiful country. Check out videos of some African Americans and Africans who visited and decided to move to SA for good. One love ❤
@@Nige.it’s the top 2 most visited countries in Africa, Morocco is number 1 so South Africa I s perfectly safe. Stop being envious…
As a South African I find it ma bit strange when people ask how we easily harmonise. For us it would be weird if you are in a crowd of people, sing a song and they don't harmonise😮. We go to funerals with strangers and sing together in harmony, weddings parties, even strikes... It's just normal life. I didn't know that was not the norm for other countries.
Me too. I don’t get it. Why would people need singing lessons for songs like this? Doesn’t it come natural? You just sing guided from the inside and then you form a dance🤷♀️
@@charlismichael ☝️Yep
It's the norm for other black cultures all over the world. For example, black Americans have especially been known globally for their music for hundreds of years, with almost every American music genre coming from them. However, other cultures don't necessarily have musical cultures; so, no, it's not the norm for every single country. Every culture doesn't sing on a regular basis, or place importance on singing. In some cultures, singing is forbidden on religious grounds.
Song, especially singing in harmony, is so powerful! I'm Dutch and in my village we used to sing out loud in church, in harmony. How much comfort and release it gives, especially at funerals. And how awkward to go to a cremation and sit and listen to a tape of someone else's music. But no one sings like South Africans. Bee you ti full.
So proud of my country SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦. God gave us all when it comes to singing
10/10 doesn't come often. But here it is. Respect from Ireland.
Who cares about your accolades
This brings tears knowing what is happening in our kids school daily. May god shield our kids from any dark clouds
Extraordinarily beautiful, powerful, and moving. God is so good, and I am so blessed to have watched this video.
She needs to stand out more. Absolutely beautiful voice
No country is like South Africa on earth, rich in cultural diversity 🇿🇦🇿🇦I am proud to be born here👆🇿🇦🇿🇦
This gives me Sarafina The Movie vibes. We Nigerians wonder if every South African can sing.
Angelic harmony. Special mention - the lead vocalist. ❤❤❤
Yes. Wonderful voices. Also African people have perfect rythm.
We have the voices but even if u can’t sing ,we use to sing struggle songs even as kids ,so maybe practice makes perfect
Such beautiful singing. And i love how effortlessly they sing, and no need of instruments. And such flow of dancing and singing.
Agree
I think the acoustics of the courtyard helps too.
This girl can sing wow ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
The passion of these children lifting their voices - how beautiful! Look how much fun they’re having. Wish I could be part of something like that. God bless you children of South Africa.
The power in this young lady's voice. Just incredible. No mic required. This performance gives me chills. So beautiful.
God Bless South Africa
I’m so glad that I’m so in tune with God that HE allowed this Universal Language to find me as a time in my life when I need it the most. Thank you 🙏
So beautiful. I love how she pointed at Him up above in the end and they all followed suit. I imagine God turned around from whatever he was doing that morning just to hear them sing.
Aw I love how the young girl at the front really gets into it, charming and heart warming.
She is obviously an excellent dancer... and she does it subconsciously... like second nature to her. I think the video was focused on her deliberately. This is so awesome
Powerful Music. Thankyou. 💙KEEP RIGHT ON
Can't stop listening to this song! My algorithm showed me this video and I hadnt known anything about south african music before. Greetings from Germany.
Welcome!
Beautiful. Moving. That soloist's voice is magnificent.
BAWO,BAWO BLESS THESE YOUNG TALENTED MEN AND WOMEN!!!
Amen dude…⚔️🙏🏽⚔️
These school children are incredible! Such beautiful harmonies and the soloist is ❤❤❤❤ such an amazing beautiful voice…I loved every second
That girl give me chills. Just brilliant
They singing not knowing we bout to be watching all the way here from America crazy...good job children, hopefully my family and I can move to Africa soon.
I honestly can play this the whole day.. on repeat. 🧡🧡🧡
Watching from Maryland in the US and I've always admired African culture so much. The patterns are colorful and bright and gorgeous, the songs and dances are all so full of life and bring such joy. Nothing makes me feel so much joy down to the core of my being as hearing Africans sing their songs. I so long for culture like this in my life. We are so disconnected from everything over here.
Hi, just curious, what’s your culture?
THE ORIGINAL FLASH DANCE AND SING. NOTHING ELSE CAN COMPARE.
AFRICA'S HARMONY IS LIKE NONE ORHER.
South Africans have natural rhythm. I am proudly South African and extremely proud to be called South African. Love everything about all the cultures, the rest will never understand the bond I have with remarkable country.
Love you ❤❤❤❤
A prayer to God the Father with all the love and enthusiasm it deserves. Beautifully done.
That is absolutely beautiful. Made a grown man tear up a bit.
I've seen many versions of this song but this is the best. Such a natural magical quality. Promise of youth.
These sweet babies. Just imagine them as adults. I can't wait, they're already powerhouses. Blessings.
I close my eyes and feel the spirits of my ancestors from Africa listening to this....and l live and was born in London. No one can break the spiritual connection we have. Awesome ❤
I look at them, we are a part of them and they are a part of us (African Americans). So much love in their hearts just the way we use to know love among our friends and family here in USA. I get a message from this song. As they plead with the Father for protection and thank Him for protection, we need to do the same 100% here in America. Same blood line, same power all we have to do is raise our voices in the same child like faith and things will be better for us here in America. I am so inspired by that great union and fellowship that is with them. Love you South Africa. Love you Motherland❤❤❤.
Even though I don't understand the language but I love this song and I keep playing it most at times God bless them all God bless Africa
Protect me, Lord, from the sorrows of this world ... Lord, thank you that I'm still under your protection
This song gave me the shivers. I don't understand these words in my conscious mind but i somehow know them in my soul and it humbles me. These are my people as I'm a Jamaican. Love AFRICA my motherland from whence they took my ancestors.
The Group around her psyching her up is just amazing ❤🎉
Fabulous,moving...look how they can't keep still...so beautiful❤❤❤
Love to all schoolkids❤..thank you❤…beautiful ❤️
You are gifted. Your voice, oh my goodness. Words are not enough. Thank you for touching my soul today.
They are AMAZING big love from Ireland to beautiful people & land of South Africa
Love from West Virginia, USA! What a gift it is to hear this. Thank you so much!
Wow 😮 absolutely amazing voices, I cried 😢
Loved hearing their voices through this music/song, and learning they were thanking God makes me feel happy for them.
Am I the only one who got goose bumps from watching this? If only my girls school assemblies had been this uplifting. The harmony and rhythm is so beautiful and soothing and so precious. This definitely bought a tea tree to my eyes. (In a good way). ❤❤❤❤
I just needed to hear this beautiful young lady and these kids sing this wonderful song today. On repeat...I can't even understand what they're saying, they just sound amazing
Can't stop listening to this music. The young girl in the assembly has got lots of energy. She couldn't contain it any longer. Beautiful voices
Simply marvelous - brings tears to my eyes and I don't even know what they're saying. Powerful
