I was standing in PretoriaWaiting for the sky to fallImpilo 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 complainBut my family's so far awayI want to be with them somedayMen outside my window dressed in mask - they live a lieBut there's one truth that they cannot denyTheir blood's the same color as mineI am not the prisoner todayYou've been too long your soul locked awayLook around there is so muchWhat are you so afraid of?PretoriaGather strength children say goodbye to the pastDry your eyes and prepare to danceThe dance of freedom at lastPut your hand here touch me nowWhat you feel is what's lost when we're kept apartIt's the beating of your own heartLetras de cancionesI'm no soldier - no politicianI'm just a working man whose time has comeLook around there is so muchWhat are you so afraid of?Impilo GeyethuThina Sigidela PhambiliPretoriaCome dance with usI was standing in PretoriaWaiting for the sky to fallAnd the eyes of the war crimes iconsStared down with false immortalityThe fallen flowers of the purple jacarandaCovered the blood on the streetsThe faces of the statues are taintedWith an unclean righteousnessBut inside they're crumblingThey know they ain't got much time leftIn Pretoria From Letras Mania
