|
There's a brawl in a lonely whites only bar |
|
A lekker groove in a classy shebeen |
|
Someone betrayed in a government car |
|
A silent movement on the stock market screen |
|
A watchman playing on a zulu guitar |
|
A white soldier's blues in camouflage green |
|
A migrant worker who's come too far |
|
A sailor aground in a submarine |
|
Chorus |
|
Phendula wendoda |
|
(answer, mister) |
|
Lendlela sizofika kanjani |
|
(this way, how will we arrive?) |
|
Talk to the people |
|
Walk through the country |
|
Listen to the children |
|
Do you know the dreams they dream at night |
|
Only you, only you can see me |
|
Only you, only you can free me |
|
Only you breathe life into the land |
|
Touch me with your healing hand |
|
There's a township mongrel on the scrounge |
|
A tribal feud in a municipal 'pound |
|
A squatter with an ox but no land to plough |
|
A shipment of a.k.s on the underground |
|
A throw of the dice on a soweto train |
|
A waiting knife if you should win the game |
|
A human rights lawyer with a torture claim |
|
A union activitist never ever seen again |
|
Chorus |
|
Phendula wemadoda |
|
(give the answer...) |
|
Talk to me |
|
God hear the children |
|
God save the country |
|
God hear the people |
|
God bless the dreams they dream at night |
|
Chorus |
