Great heroes

Great heroes

can you hear the sound
of the great heroes of hour freedom.

Can you hear the great sound
of peace maker that opened the door of our future.

my heart bleeds, my poetic soul
seen as it have been stolen away from me.

when I hear, I see that this generation,
my genaration is not appreciating, saluting
the heroes that shed thier blood in the great street of sowet.

they raised thier voices of peace saying,
we want to be told in a language that, we know best,
in a language that makes us feel like we belong somwhere,
ins a languages that makes my Africanism as pure as an African coffee,
and black the way my mother likes.

Guns went ballistic like thunder in a raining day,
to stop thier great songs of freedom, but they couldn't
stop them from opening the door of our future.

as a youth and the future let all salute,
the great heroes of june 16 for our freedom
