There is a place
On earth's motherland
Where a people

Die in bantu stands
Manchild at eight
Will face guns of hate

Womanchild's fate
Is life second rate


Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely


They do a dance
called Mbaqana jive
Rainbow people

Dancin' to stay alive
After hours
Party hand in hand

After Shebeen
Terror strikes again


Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely


Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely


The whole planet's watchin'
And the Sun God is watchin', too
Hey there Botha

Yes, we are watchin' you
Spirits can do
Jah will stop this reign

Watch our world turn
To help those in pain


Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely


[Repeat to fade]
