I was standing in Pretoria
Waiting for the sky to fall
Impilo Geyethu [life is for living - life is ours]
Thina Sigidela Phambili [we will not wait - we dance forward]
I am like any other man - I don't complain
But my family's so far away
I want to be with them someday
Men outside my window dressed in mask - they live a lie
But there's one truth that they cannot deny
Their blood's the same color as mine
I am not the prisoner today
You've been too long your soul locked away
Look around there is so much
What are you so afraid of?
Pretoria
Gather strength children say goodbye to the past
Dry your eyes and prepare to dance
The dance of freedom at last
Put your hand here touch me now
What you feel is what's lost when we're kept apart
It's the beating of your own heart
I'm no soldier - no politician
I'm just a working man whose time has come
Look around there is so much
What are you so afraid of?
Impilo Geyethu
Thina Sigidela Phambili
Pretoria
Come dance with us
I was standing in Pretoria
Waiting for the sky to fall
And the eyes of the war crimes icons
Stared down with false immortality
The fallen flowers of the purple jacaranda
Covered the blood on the streets
The faces of the statues are tainted
With an unclean righteousness
But inside they're crumbling
They know they ain't got much time left
In Pretoria
