| Born in Bondi with a keen eye for politics
|
| Many got degrees but don’t know what knowledge is
|
| Acknowledge his dedication to the truth
|
| And he never changed name just for chasing lute
|
| So today he remains of the few
|
| Ain’t here for fame, dedication to that news but
|
| Not the news that your seeing on fox
|
| Ecause they label his views as treasonous plots
|
| Believe it or not he’s a prize winning professor
|
| Been a front line eye witness to terror
|
| Been threatened to leave countries
|
| And had death threats
|
| Made me believe how we deceived by you west press
|
| And now I know why these secrets are best kept
|
| Right after his readings I be needing a stress test
|
| A best bet for those not familiar
|
| Check the intellect of Mr. John Pilger
|
| Real heroes are hard to come by
|
| Lived in darkness but strived for sunshine
|
| The human race would rise as one kind
|
| If these lies hypnotized our young minds
|
| Sunshine
|
| Born to a tribe in a south Africa village
|
| In a country wealth but without any privilege
|
| His land pillaged by settlers with greed on their mind
|
| They showed no respect so no peace he could find
|
| He would read all the time, be speaking his mind
|
| Be a lead to the blind so his people would climb
|
| Free speech was a crime in the time that he lived
|
| Apartheid had people divided by skin
|
| And not a guy to give in on a quest to be free
|
| Twenty seven years of life in a penitentiary
|
| Finished off degrees in Bothe law and arts
|
| So smart, leaving court rooms torn apart
|
| Showed heart like Phar Lap on release from jail
|
| Said, «We are all one people let peace prevail»
|
| Without fail we raise a glass in health to this fella
|
| The selfless path of Mr. Nelson Mandela
|
| Real heroes are hard to come by
|
| Lived in darkness but strived for sunshine
|
| The human race would rise as one kind
|
| If these lies hypnotized our young minds
|
| Sunshine
|
| Real heroes are hard to find
|
| With super powers that really exist
|
| That influence the hearts of men
|
| Who could you turn to
|
| If we did not have direction and inspiration
|
| From men like this, from men like this
|
| Real heroes are hard to come by
|
| Lived in darkness but strived for sunshine
|
| The human race would rise as one kind
|
| If these lies hypnotized our young minds
|
| Sunshine |
