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

Hiromija, Hiromija
The man is dead, 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
Hiromija, Hiromija

The man is dead, the man is dead

You can blow out a candle

But you can never blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher

Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Hiromija, Hiromija

The man is dead, the man is dead

And the eyes of the world are watching you now

They're watching you now, watching you now
Watching you now, watching you now
They're watching you now

You gotta waken up, you gotta face up
I think you gotta open up


The eyes of the world are watching you now
You gotta waken up, you gotta face up
You know you can never turn away

Never turn away
