War By Bob Marley

What life has taught me
I would like to share withThose
who want to learn...
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 equallyGuaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusionTo be persued,
but never attained
NOW EVERYWHERE IS WAR,
war
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimesthat 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,
rumours 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,
good over evil
Good over evil,
good over evil,
good over evil
