A#m            G#7            A#m
Until the phi-losophy, which hold one race
    G#7
superior,
      A#m    G#7  A#m    G#7
And a-nother;  in-ferior.
   A#m     G#7   A#m         G#7
Is finally,  and permanently,
    A#m      G#7     A#m      G#7
Dis-credited,  and a-bandoned,
              A#m  G#7      A#m  G#7
Everywhere is war,   me say war.

     A#m            G#7           A#m
That until there no longer, first class,
                 G#7              A#m    G#7
And second class citizens, of any nation.
A#m                   G#7               A#m
Until the colour of a man's skin, is of no more
         G#7
signifi-cance,
         A#m                G#7      A#m  G#7
Than the colour of his eyes;  me say war.

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Now everywhere is war
War

And until the ignoble and unhappy regime
That hold our brothers in Angola
In Mozambique
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled
Utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war
Me say war

Chorus:
War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south

War, war
Rumors of war
And until that day
The African continent
Will not know peace
We Africans will fight, we find it necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil

Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah!
