The life story of Henry Olonga, the writer/singer of "Our Zimbabwe" is truly amazing.  Olonga is now in exile from Zimbabwe because of the stand he made with his fellow cricket teammate Henry Flowers at the World Cup in 2003. Please visit his site and support him.

      "Our Zimbabwe" - Intrumental

Our Zimbabwe
 
This land our land, is our Zimbabwe, a land of peace for you and me
Once born in pain and segregation but now we live in harmony
 
Now flies the flag, our nation's glory, we'll live with pride inside our heart
As we all stand to build our nation, this our land, our Zimbabwe
 
Though I may go to distant borders, my heart will yearn for this my home
For time and space may separate us and yet she holds my heart alone.
 
Now flies the flag, my nations's glory, I'll live with pride inside my heart
I'll make a stand to build my nation, this my land, my Zimbabwe
Now flies the flag, my nation's glory, we'll live with pride inside our hearts
As we all stand to build our nation, this our land, our Zimbabwe
 
We've been through it all, we've had our days, we've had our falls
Now the time has come for us to stand, to stand as one
 
The night has gone and with the morning comes rays of hope that lead us on
So we will strive to give our children a brighter day where they belong.
