Royal son

Your spirit can’t be killed by the gun

Your memory yes it will live long

You fight til liberation come

You fight until freedom come

Remember the name who never fear no foe

Rejecting all the values of the colonial toll

Arrested and imprisoned for the right to extoll

One Azania one nation one people manifold

You were left out in the cold

We reveal and make it known
