Dark 'n' Lovely

There is a place

On earth's motherland

Where a people

Die in bantu stands

Manchild at eight

Will face guns of hate

Womanchild's fate

Is life second rate

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

They do a dance

called Mbaqana jive

Rainbow people

Dancin' to stay alive

After hours

Party hand in hand

After Shebeen

Terror strikes again

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely

Dark 'n' lovely

The whole planet's watchin'

And the Sun God is watchin', too

Hey there Botha

Yes, we are watchin' you

Spirits can do

Jah will stop this reign

Watch our world turn

To help those in pain

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely

[Repeat to fade]
