Talk To The People |
There’s a brawl in a lonely whites only bar |
A lekker groove in a classy shebeen |
Someone betrayed in a government car |
A silent movement on the stock market screen |
A watchman playing on a zulu guitar |
A white soldier’s blues in camouflage green |
A migrant worker who’s come too far |
A sailor aground in a submarine |
Phendula wendoda |
(answer, mister) |
Lendlela sizofika kanjani |
(this way, how will we arrive?) |
Talk to the people |
Walk through the country |
Listen to the children |
Do you know the dreams they dream at night |
Only you, only you can see me |
Only you, only you can free me |
Only you breathe life into the land |
Touch me with your healing hand |
There’s a township mongrel on the scrounge |
A tribal feud in a municipal 'pound |
A squatter with an ox but no land to plough |
A shipment of a.k.s on the underground |
A throw of the dice on a soweto train |
A waiting knife if you should win the game |
A human rights lawyer with a torture claim |
A union activitist never ever seen again |
Phendula wemadoda |
(give the answer…) |
Talk to me |
God hear the children |
God save the country |
God hear the people |
God bless the dreams they dream at night |
