| 1968, USA, a million black models having their day
|
| Mexico city, blood red sky, polite stain here, fists held high
|
| (Pre-Chorus)
|
| Some for justice, rectify
|
| With snipping columns struck their pride
|
| Took a black power salute
|
| Took a black power salute
|
| Took a black power salute
|
| Take a free to define the truth
|
| Political protests of a higher time
|
| For simple rights better be in deny
|
| Our lives in wait, our end directed
|
| A revolution, our distant nights
|
| (Pre-Chorus)
|
| Some for justice, rectify
|
| With snipping columns struck their pride
|
| Took a black power salute
|
| Took a black power salute
|
| Took a black power salute
|
| Take a free to define the truth
|
| Took a black power salute
|
| Took a black power salute
|
| Took a black power salute
|
| Take a free to define the truth |
