Lyrics:

Jailed and beaten
left to die
political prisoners
of apartheid
youth of the nation
violently oppressed
in the quest for freedom
thousands dead

How can we let this be
in their country
they must be free
when will segration end
when will the masses be free again

I can't concieve
of this injustice
I can't believe
it's going on
white man's law
is held supreme
black man
have no rights at all

How can we let this be
in their country
they must be free
when will segration end
when will the masses be free again

In this age
let's have harmony
all people
can be free
this injustice
must now end
the masses
will be free again

How can we let this be
in their country
they must be free
when will segration end
when will the masses be free again
