400 years of colonial reign
Has brought the people misery
It has left them such pain
The talk is now of independence you see
Seems it wasn't meant for you or for me

As strangers we came
Slave trade was the game
And ever since we don't even know our name
Our heritage one must remember
And all they did to mother and father

So people, people for what it's worth
Demands your freedom, here upon earth
Stop asking "when", "where" and "how"
Make up your mind the time is now

(..)

People, people for what it's worth
Demands your freedom, here upon earth
Stop asking "when", "where" and "how"..
