There is a place

On heart'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



Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Dark 'n' lovely



The whole planet's watchin'

And the Sun God is watchin', too

Hey there Botha

Yes, we are watcin' 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
