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 to 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 |
