Jailed and beaten
Left to die
Political prisoners
Of apartheid
The 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 segregation end?
When will the masses be free again?
Again
I can't conceive
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 segregation end?
When will the masses be free again?
Again
In this age
Let's have harmony
Humanity
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 segregation end?
When will the masses be free again?
Again
