There is a place
On earth´s motherland
Where a people
Die in bantu stands
Manchild at eight
Will face guns of hate
Womanchild´s fate
Is life second rate

Just because they´re dark ´n´ lovely
Just because they´re dark ´n´ lovely

They do a dance
called Mbaqana jive
Rainbow people
Dancin´ to stay alive
After hours
Party hand in hand
After Shebeen
Terror strikes again

Just because they´re dark ´n´ lovely
Just because they´re dark ´n´ lovely

Dark ´n´ lovely Dark ´n´ lovely
Dark ´n´ lovely

The whole planet´s watchin´
And the Sun God is watchin´, too
Hey there Botha
Yes, we are watchin´ you
Spirits can do
Jah will stop this reign
Watch our world turn
To help those in pain

Just because they´re dark ´n´ lovely
Just because they´re dark ´n´ lovely
Just because they´re dark ´n´ lovely
Just because they´re dark ´n´ lovely
Dark ´n´ lovely Dark ´n´ lovely

[Repeat to fade]
