Biko Lyrics

September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh,, because
Oh,, because
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja


When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh,, because
Oh,, because
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja


You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh,, because
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja


And the eyes of the world are
watching now
watching now
