War

War - Glen Ricketts

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

Me say war

Until the basic human rights

Are equally guaranteed to all

Without regard to race

Me say 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

Me say war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes

That hold our brothers in Angola

In Mozambique

In 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

Rumours of war

War

Rumours of war

Me say 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

We are confident

In the victory

Good over evil
