Lyrics
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war
Me say war
That until there are no longer
First-class and second-class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war
That until that day
The dreams of lasting peace
World citizenship
And the rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Well, everywhere is war
War
And until the ignoble and unhappy regime
That hold our brothers in Angola
In Mozambique
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled
Utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war
Me say war
War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
War, war
Rumors of war
And until that day
The African continent
Will not know peace
We Africans will fight, we find it necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil, evil
Good over war
Until bigotry and prejudice malicious
Inhuman sub interests have been replaced by understanding
And tolerance and goodwill yeah
War
Until all Africans stand and speak as free beings
Equally in the eyes of the Almight
War
Everywhere is war
