lyrics

I have a dream today
That the innocent child will be bank manager
Do not keep quiet
Do not keep silent
Break the silences

It is not my desire to sleep on the pavements or the verander
Why you abuse me?
But you are my parents
The dustbin is my kitchen unit

I have my rights as an African Child
Everyone is not saying I'm wild
I'm the African Child
