about

This song is about the way coloured people are treated.

lyrics

1.
The name of a people been dragged through the mud
The history of a people been drenched in blood
Every bullet shot pierces the heart of a nation
A womb removed by dehumanisation
White man don't hate me 'cos of my skin
Black man he hate you but not your racism
Let's not go backwards to our dirty past
But forward together and this world may last

Chorus:
Please stop the killing
Before it becomes too late
Peace and love, freedom and thought
We don't want a world full of riot and hate

Why do you do it, can't you see we don't want a part of it?

2.
God gave us a life, so why can't we live it?
All races together in peace and cohabit
Love they neighbour and love thyself
Happy together on God's green Earth
Why do we break the bones of other people?
A rude awakening in this place of sorrow
Why do we destroy the hope for our children?
Understand they're our future, don't be so stubborn

Chorus

Living together, happy on God's green Earth

3.
Listen to your heart, put your hand on my shoulder
Walk through this evil to a place to grow older
Stop the violence, it's mass suicide
And the rest of the world, open up your eyes

Open up your eyes and see before it becomes too late
