Shadow men from the outlands come to town

Looking for Bafazane

They want to gun him down -- oh no

They say he thunders too loud and his people are proud

They'll never give in while he's still around

And it's the sky above that he loves



Chorus:

They've got bullets for Bafazane -- They want to gun him down

They've got bullets for Bafazane -- Now they're searching the town

They've got bullets for Bafazane -- And the word's got around

They've got bullets for Bafazane



Eyes wide open in the backroom,

Finger on the trigger

Listening for any sound that will

Betray the silent deadly figure

He's got iron in his soul,

He's got a smile in his eyes

He makes dancing shoes from old car tyres

And it's the sky up above that he loves



Chorus





It's the sky up above that he loves

'Cause for him he's alive and that's enough



Chorus
