Sipho 'Hotstix' Mabuse - Chant of the Marching Lyrics

I remember the day when I heard the sound of the marching in from the distance
Rising all the way
From the sound of the stomping feet to the sound of resistance

Then there was fire
And insurrection
Rocks and stones and action

Bullets and pellets
From every direction
Sirens and silence
Unnatural oppression

People chanting
People rising

You know someday when it's part of our history children will learn of our past
Someday when we tell our story children will learn from our past
Teach our children

Human life sacrificed security fortified
Authority satisfied in a brutal state of anger

Someone is dead
With a hole in his head
And mother is crying
Another is trying to explain why a nation is dying

Someday when it's part of our history children will learn of our past (Yes they will)
Someday when we tell our story children will learn from our past
