War
What
life has taught me
I would like to share with
Those who want to learn...
Until the philosophy which
hold one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently
discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say
war
That until there are no
longer first class
And second class citizens
of any nation
Until the colour of a man's
skin
Is of no more significance
than the colour of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human
rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without
regard to race
Dis a war
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting
illusion
To be persued, but never
attained
Now everywhere is war, war
And until the ignoble and
unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in
Angola, in Mozambique,
South Africa sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, utterly
destroyed
Well, everywhere is war,
me say war
War in the east, war in
the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumours of war
And until that day, the
African continent
Will not know peace, we
Africans will fight
We find it necessary and
we know we shall win
As we are confident in the
victory
Of good over evil, good
over evil, good over evil
Good over evil, good over
evil, good over evil

of your people
Unite for it's later than
