Lyrics

Don’t stare at us from the overpass
Come on down we’ll shake your hand
Welcome my brothers and my sisters too
Through these streets I will walk with you

Shine Kliptown Shine

Our children laugh, dance and sing
Far from schools and health clinics
Life’s a struggle, but they’re full of smiles
Get to know us, stay a while

Shine Kliptown Shine

Now that our light is shining for everyone to see
Will they just come to stare or bring the change we need


Don’t stare at us from the overpass
Come on over and lend a hand
You know my brothers and my sisters too
Would really like to get to know you

Shine Kliptown Shine
