PETER GABRIEL lyrics : "Biko"

September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual

In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko

Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead


When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white

With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko

Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead


You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch

The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja

-The man is dead

And the eyes of the world are

watching now
watching now
