WarUntil the philosophyWhich 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 That 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 Then we say "war" That 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 War in the east War in the west War up north War down south There'll be war And the rumors of war That until the ignoble and unhappy regime Which holds our sisters in Africa, yeah Africa, yeah Sub-human bondage has been toppled Utterly destroyed Everywhere is 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 'Cause we are confident In the victory Of good over evil Good over evil Good over evil |
