Someone Like Biko

Lyrics

Weariness in my soul, pain in my heart
 See you there little child, fear in your eyes
 The road ahead will be rough, we seek the land of hope
 No vision, no clear direction
 Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive and that's why
 I'm crying for the future
 I worry about the future
 I'm working for the future, yeah
 Will we ever truly be happy?
 Will we ever know the good life?
 Will there ever be justice and equality for all?
 So give me a man like Malcolm in this time
 Someone like Sankara with the love of his people
 Show me a man like Neto in this time
 Someone like Biko, Biko, Biko, woah
 Then we were slaves, taken away from here
 Now we're still slaves right on our own land
 Nothing is settled my brother, the battle rages on
 We're still the pawn in the game
 And half the story is never told and that's why
 I'm fighting for the future
 I'm working for future
 I'm looking to the future, yeah
 Will we ever really be free?
 Will we ever stand up and fight?
 Will we ever speak together in one voice?
 So give me a man like Cabral in this time
 Someone like Lumumba, with the passion of youth love
 We need men like Garvey in this time
 Someone like Biko, Biko, Biko, woah
 ♪
 So give me a man like Shaka in this time
 Someone like Nkrumah, with the love of his people
 Show me a man like Boro in this time
 Someone like Biko, Biko, Biko, woah
 ♪
 Weariness in my soul, pain in my heart
 Close your eyes and sleep child
 Everything is gonna to be alright
 Go on and sleep child
 Close your eyes
 Close your eyes, child
 Everything is gonna to be alright
 Close your eyes
