WAR Until the philosophy which holds 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 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, everywehre 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 | WAR Until the philosophy, Which holds one race superior And another inferior, Is finally and permanently Discredited and abandoned, Everywhere is war. Until there is no longer first class Or second class citizens of any nation. Until the color of a man's skin, Is of no more significance than The color of his eyes, I've got to say "war". That until the basic human rights, Are equally guaranteed to all, Without regard to race, I'll say "war" Until that day the dream of lasting peace, World-citizenship and the rule of International morality will remain Just a fleeting illusion to be pursued, But never obtained. And everywhere is war. Until the ignoble and unhappy regime Which holds all of us through, Child-abuse, yeah, child-abuse yeah, Sub-human bondage has been toppled, Utterly destroyed, Everywhere is war. War in the east, War in the west, War up north, War down south, There is war, And the rumors of war. Until that day, There is no continent, Which will know peace. Children, children. Fight! We find it necessary. We know we will win. We have confidence in the victory Of good over evil Fight the real enemy! |
