Jailed and beaten

left to die

political prisoners

of apartheid

youth of the nation

violently oppressed

in the quest for freedom

thousands dead



How can we let this be

in their country

they must be free

when will segration end

when will the masses be free again



I can't concieve

of this injustice

I can't believe

it's going on

white man's law

is held supreme

black man

have no rights at all



How can we let this be

in their country

they must be free

when will segration end

when will the masses be free again



In this age

let's have harmony

all people

can be free

this injustice

must now end

the masses

will be free again



How can we let this be

in their country

they must be free

when will segration end

when will the masses be free again
