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 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 pursued
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, yeah!
Good over evil —
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil —
Good over evil, yeah! fadeout/
