They Fear You Because You Are Young.
They Fear You Because You Are The Future.
How Fearful They Must Be That They Shoot You Children?
How Powerful You Must Be That They Fear You So Much?

You Are Powerful Because You Are The Generation, That will Be Free!
The Violence, The Beatings, The Torture, The Killings
All This Is The Birth Pain Of Our Free Nation.
Please, God, May I Live To See It.
But If I Don't, I see It Now On Your Faces Like The Light Of the Rising Sun
And My Heart Leaps Within Me
As If I, Too, Was Young Again.

And I Know--Oh, Yes, I Know Freedom Is Coming Tomorrow.
Power! Is Ours!
Let It Come Back! IAfrika!
IAfrika! Let It come Back!
May Our Children Rest In Peace.
Ashes To Ashes, Dust To Dust.

From The South Afrikan Musical "Sarafina" after a mass killing of black students by the Boers during the era of Apartheid.
