Biko - Live

Lyrics

September '77
 Port Elizabeth weather fine
 It was business as usual
 In police room 619
 Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
 Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
 Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
 -The man is dead
 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 Biko, Biko, because Biko
 Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
 Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
 -The man is dead
 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 Biko, Biko, because Biko
 Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
 -The man is dead
 And the eyes of the world are
 watching now
 watching now
