War Lyrics

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
