[Ab] [Bbm] Until the [F]
philosophy which [Bbm] hold one race [Ab] superior and [Bbm] another [Ab]
[Bbm] inferior [Ab] is [Bbm] finally [Ab] and [Bbm] permanently
[Ab] [Bbm] discredited
[Ab] [Bbm] and abandoned.
[C] Everywhere is war,
[Fm] [Eb] [Bb] it's a [Bbm] war
[Ab] [Bbm] that until there are no [F] longer [Bbm] first class and second [Ebm] class citizens of any [Bbm] nation,
[Ab] [Bbm] until the color [F] of a man's skin is of no more
[Eb] significance [Bbm] than the color of his [Ab] eyes.
[Bbm] It's a war
[Ab] [Bbm] that until the basic [F] human rights [Bbm] are equally guaranteed [Ab] to all [Bbm] without regard to [Ab] race.
[Bbm] But it's a war
[Ab] [Bbm] that until that day [C] the [Bbm] dream of lasting
[Ab] peace, [Bbm] world citizenship, rule of [Fm]
international [Bbm] morality will remain but a fleeting [F] illusion [Bbm] to be pursued but never attained.
[Eb]
Now [Bbm] everywhere is [Db] war, war
[Ab] [Bbm] and until [Eb] the ignoble [Bbm] and unhappy regime that hold our [Bbm] brothers in Angola, [Ab] [Bbm] in Mozambique,
[Ab] [Bbm] South Africa,
[Ab] sub-human bondage [Bbm] have been toppled,
[Ab] totally [Bbm] destroyed.
[Ab] Well [Bbm] everywhere is [Db] war,
[Bbm] it's a war,
[Ab] [Bbm] war in the east, war in the west, [Ab] [Bbm] war up north, war down south, [Eb] [Bbm] war, war, rumors of a [Fm] war.
[Bbm] And until that day the African continent [Bb] [Bbm] will not know peace.
We Africans will [Ab] fight it, we [Bbm] find it necessary and we know we shall [Ab] win [Bbm] as we are confident in the victory
[Ab] of good [Bbm] over evil, good over evil.
[Ab]
Good [Bbm] over evil.
