Die fighting
Desmond muzite 2002 (Rusape)
if you can die , die son
die fighting son
stand up for our rights
we can't die while
we're alive, just stand for our rights
remember l am a human being
l can feel the pain too
remember l am a human being
l also have a heart
remember l am a human being
l also have a soul
so why are you treating us like a stone you politicians
why are you treating us like a toilet tissue, you commrades I'm a human too
people come and go from this place our ancestors ruled it briefly
a very long time ago
now we rule it again but
one day we will be gone too
now my question is how long we will be here this time
when people pray for impossible things
they pray for forgiveness without restitution
they pray for love without sacrifice.
