Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fire in Soweto
Burning all my people
There was fire in Angola
A burning all my people
Riot in Mozambique
Affecting all my people
Fighting in Namibia
Crushing all my people
A shooting in Soweto
Hey, a killing all my people
A rebel in Zimbabwe
Victimizing all my people
I look at them a burning
My people are crying
I look at them a shooting
My people are dying
I look at them a robbing
My people are sighing
[Verse 2]
Tell me where you gonna go
When the Vorster come
Tell me where you're going to hide
When the Vorster come
I say where you're going to run
When the lot come down
I say what you gonna do
When you follow the truth
The color of God
Neither black nor white
We did nothing
Nothing that we owe you
We need something
Will you leave us alone
We have risen
[Chorus]
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Africa is our home (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Free to leave us alone (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our hope (Freedom is our goal)
[Verse 3]
A fire in Soweto
Burning all my people
Fire in Angola
Burning all my people
Riot in Mozambique
Affecting all my people
Fighting in Namibia
Crushing all my people
A shooting in Soweto
Killing all my people
A rebel in Zimbabwe
Victimizing all my people
I look at them a shooting
My people are dying
I look at, look at them burning
My people are crying
I look at them robbing
My people are sighing
[Verse 4]
Tell me where you gonna go
When the Vorster come
Tell me where you're going to hide
When the lot come down
Oh what you gonna do
When you follow the truth
The color of God
Neither black nor white
And we did nothing
Nothing that we owe you
And we need something
Will you leave us alone
And we have risen
[Chorus]
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Free to leave us alone (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
Freedom is our goal (Freedom is our goal)
