Embracing Home: Dumelang's Celebration of Unity and Joy
Lyrics
Just touched down in the city
Expressing arrival in the city
Feel the energy beneath my feet
Sensing vibrant energy beneath the feet
And it feels good right now
Current moment is enjoyable
To be home it really feels good right now
Expressing joy and comfort being home
So many beautiful places
Noting numerous beautiful places
And all of your beautiful faces, unite
Unity among people, appreciating their beauty
Y'all alright
Checking on the well-being of everyone

Symbols of wealth and connection to the land
From the Kgalagadi can you feel the heat
Feeling the warmth from the Kgalagadi
Kissing on my skin right now
Enjoying the sensation on the skin
And it feels so good to be alive right now
Expressing the joy of being alive

Calling people to recognize their royalty
Rise and claim your position
Encouraging individuals to assert their status
