00:00:16.849 --> 00:00:20.313
This song was written 
for a very brave man.

00:00:27.405 --> 00:00:29.504
A man who preached
non-violence,

00:00:29.504 --> 00:00:34.024
in a state which has racism
enshrined in its constitution.

00:00:35.169 --> 00:00:38.101
A man who was 
imprisoned, tortured,

00:00:38.101 --> 00:00:41.097
and killed in a jail 
in South Africa.

00:00:41.097 --> 00:00:43.468
This is for Steven Biko.

00:01:08.009 --> 00:01:11.520
September '77

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:16.342
Port Elizabeth weather fine


00:01:16.342 --> 00:01:21.287
It was business as usual


00:01:21.287 --> 00:01:25.955
In police room 619


00:01:26.324 --> 00:01:33.941
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko


00:01:36.241 --> 00:01:44.189
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko


00:01:47.713 --> 00:01:54.416
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
- The man is dead -

00:01:54.416 --> 00:01:56.856
The man is dead

00:02:17.294 --> 00:02:21.379
When I try to sleep at night


00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:25.970
I can only dream in red

00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:31.045
The outside world is black and white

00:02:31.045 --> 00:02:35.837
With only one color dead

00:02:36.202 --> 00:02:44.086
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko

00:02:45.969 --> 00:02:54.057
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko

00:02:57.427 --> 00:03:04.164
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
- The man is dead -

00:03:04.164 --> 00:03:06.704
The man is dead

00:03:26.282 --> 00:03:30.882
You can blow out a candle


00:03:31.285 --> 00:03:36.032
But you can't blow out a fire

00:03:37.373 --> 00:03:41.636
Once the flames begin to catch

00:03:41.636 --> 00:03:45.648
The wind will blow it higher

00:03:45.881 --> 00:03:53.896
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko

00:03:55.963 --> 00:04:03.729
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko

00:04:07.436 --> 00:04:13.945
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
- The man is dead -

00:04:13.945 --> 00:04:16.603
The man is dead

00:04:23.268 --> 00:04:26.251
And the eyes of the world


00:04:26.251 --> 00:04:29.131
Are watching now

00:04:30.718 --> 00:04:33.169
Watching now

00:04:35.794 --> 00:04:37.636
Watching now

00:05:20.469 --> 00:05:27.678
Oh, oh, oh, oh

00:05:27.678 --> 00:05:29.155
Everyone!

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:37.989
Oh, oh, oh, oh

00:05:38.670 --> 00:05:42.075
For all of those still in jail
in South Africa

00:05:42.075 --> 00:05:47.857
Oh, oh

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:48.236 --> 00:05:50.395
For all those
still being tortured

00:05:50.395 --> 00:05:57.481
Oh, oh, oh, oh

00:05:57.481 --> 00:05:59.751
For all prisoners
of conscience

00:06:00.377 --> 00:06:07.623
Oh, oh, oh, oh

00:06:07.894 --> 00:06:09.351
For Steven BIko

00:06:10.211 --> 00:06:18.150
Oh, oh, oh, oh

00:06:20.282 --> 00:06:28.021
Oh, oh, oh, oh

00:06:30.281 --> 00:06:36.433
Oh, oh, oh, oh
