A place we call home
A place where hatred grows
The vision of oneness now reduced to disunity
Our negro brothers and sisters meant to stand tall
Now fight and kill for reasons that are not strong
The burning and maiming which cannot be forgotten
Creates more conflict for those that are watching
For the courage to slaughter a man with your own colour
And to make him your fiend is of great dishonour
In time of captivity we cried for our freedom
But wasted the effort to abhor our brothers
The future we sought was of love and peace
And the future we got is of pain and sorrow
Then a system was made to protect it's people
Now it watches from afar despite the horrors
I for one dream for this evil to stop
The lives that were lost cannot be looked past
Our brothers that were slain
The tears that were shed
The anguish that was caused
And the suffering it brought
It is time to make a better nation
For together we stand
And divided we fall
