Biko

september '77

Port elizabeth weather fine

It was business as usual

In police room 619

Oh biko, biko, because biko

Oh biko, biko, because biko

Yihla moja, yihla moja

-the man is dead



When i try and sleep at night

I can only dream in red

The outside world is black and white

With only one colour dead

Oh biko, biko, because biko

Oh biko, biko, because biko

Yihla moja, yihla moja

-the man is dead



You can blow out a candle

But you can't blow out a fire

Once the flames begin to catch

The wind will blow it higher

Oh biko, biko, because biko

Yihla moja, yihla moja

-the man is dead



And the eyes of the world are

Watching now

Watching now
