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
