Pretoria |
| I was standing in Pretoria |
| Waiting for the sky to fall |
| Impilo Geyethu |
| Thina Sigidela Phambili |
| I am like any other man — I don’t complain |
| But my family’s so far away |
| I want to be with them someday |
| Men outside my window dressed in mask — they live a lie |
| But there’s one truth that they cannot deny |
| Their blood’s the same color as mine |
| I am not the prisoner today |
| You’ve been too long your soul locked away |
| Look around there is so much |
| What are you so afraid of? |
| Pretoria |
| Gather strength children say goodbye to the past |
| Dry your eyes and prepare to dance |
| The dance of freedom at last |
| Put your hand here touch me now |
| What you feel is what’s lost when we’re kept apart |
| It’s the beating of your own heart |
| I’m no soldier — no politician |
| I’m just a working man whose time has come |
| Look around there is so much |
| What are you so afraid of? |
| Impilo Geyethu |
| Thina Sigidela Phambili |
| Pretoria |
| Come dance with us |
| I was standing in Pretoria |
| Waiting for the sky to fall |
| And the eyes of the war crimes icons |
| Stared down with false immortality |
| The fallen flowers of the purple jacaranda |
| Covered the blood on the streets |
| The faces of the statues are tainted |
| With an unclean righteousness |
| But inside they’re crumbling |
| They know they ain’t got much time left |
| In Pretoria |
