Shamen Hear Me O My People
Oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
We seize at this moment, justice
Still standing on the streets of South Africa
And apartheid still reigns supreme all through this
land
And the price too high and the end is near
We hear the voices of the beast
As it shouts at us, as it tries to frighten us
As it tries to intimidate us
And we know the price is high but the end is near
We know, we know, that we will have to pay
And get squashed, and the struggle is long and hard
And through each part, the price is high but the end is
near
Do not be scared, do not do wrong
Do not betray our faith, do not betray our children
Do not betray our fathers, do not betray our mothers
Do not betray our vision
Do not betray the justice we are fighting for
Do not betray the lands we will see that will rise up
Out of the ashes of this country
And apartheid will crumble
The price will be high, but the end is near
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
