War

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 no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
Me say war

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race this 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 pursued
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, rumors 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
