GENERATION (Lyrics)
- This track is a song which I dedicated to the memory of
Hector Peterson who must have been the first child to be killed by the guns of
apartheid in South Africa.
CHORUS
It is a generation
Who need you,
who need your attention
It is a generation
Who seek you,
who seek your redemption
'Cos early in the morning
The sun is shining bright
in a land of sadness
And I am really wondering
Maybe you and I could give
a little bit of gladness
Living in a compaound
Behind barded wire fences
The policeman will fire rounds
To save their own defences
Good men, women and children
Have fallen down dead
As red hot bullets are
buried in their heads
CHORUS
Show me freedom
- in oppression
Where is democracy
- in repression?
Rip offs anonymous
Bloodsuckers ravenous
Rapists unlimited
The system of their reign
Brother listen
you can come close
in the name of the Lord
Yet my brother still I know
I now where I am coming from
No more tolerance for evil
No more indifference,
Must become the image
Of the One who died
to save this age.
CHORUS
Generation... |
