[Bb] [Bbm]
Until the [Db] philosophy [Bbm] which hold one race [Db] superior and [Bbm] another
[Ab] [Bbm] inferior
[Ab] is [Bbm] final
[Ab] and [Bbm] permanently
[Abm] [Bbm] discredited
[Ab] and [Bb] abandoned.
[Ab] Everywhere [Bbm] is [Db] war.
[Bb] It's a war
[Ab] [Bbm] that until there are no longer first class and second [Db] class citizens of [Bbm] any nation.
[Ab] [Bbm] Until the color of a man's skin is of no more [Db] significance [F] than the color of his [Ab] eyes.
[Bbm] It's a war
[Ab] [Bbm] that until the [Db] basic human rights [Bbm] are equally [Db] guaranteed to all [Bb] without regard to [Ab] race.
[Bbm] But it's a war
[Ab] [Bbm] 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.
[Db] Now everywhere [Bbm] is [Db] war,
[Bbm] war.
[Ab] [Bbm] And until the [Gb] ignoble and [Bbm] unhappy regime that hold [Gb] our brothers [Bb] in Angola, [Ab] in [Bbm] Mozambique, [Ab] South [Bbm] Africa,
[Ab] sub-human [Bb] bondage [Ab] have [Bbm] been toppled, [Ab] [Bbm] totally destroyed.
[Ab] Well everywhere [Bbm] is war.
[Bb] It's a war,
[Ab] [Bbm] war in the east, war in the west, [Gb] [Bbm] war up north, war down south.
[Db] [Bbm] War, war, rumors of a [Ab] war.
[Bb] And [Bbm] until that day the African continent will not know peace.
We Africans will fight it, we find it necessary.
And we know we [Ab] shall win, [Bbm] as we are confident [Db] in [Bbm] the victory
[Ab] of [Gb] good [Bbm] over evil.
[Ab] [Bbm] Of good over evil,
[Ab] good [Bbm] over evil.
[Ab] [Bbm]
