Last night I heard machine guns in the town
They came to our house and they burned it down
Soweto, used to be my home
Soweto, oh, oh...
(Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa)

My father's got no work, they've closed the mine
Now the police have come to draw the line
Confusion and fighting in the street, oh...
Soweto, when will you be free, oh...

Live, oh, I want to live
I can't believe the things my eyes have seen
I only have a dream, freedom!
Freedom, freedom
Free, oh, I must be free
To live my life beneath the open sky
Hold my head up high, freedom!
Today the school was hit with tear gas
And I still hear the sound of breaking glass
We're children, how can this go on
Soweto, this is too far gone, hey, yeah, yeah

Oh-oh-ooh..
Do-do-do-do-do-do...
