Through Soweto
If you heard about Chile
Then you heard about Soweto
Where the blood of oppression
Runs deep as the mines
Chile your water runs red
Through Soweto
The hand that choked
The spirit of Allende
Pulls the trigger of a gun
On the children of Soweto
Chile your waters run red
Through Soweto
The hand that cut short
The song of Viictor Jara
Put young Steven Biko
In a dusty hill grave
Chile your water runs red
Through Soweto
The hand of oppression
Is the hand of hunger
The waters of Chile
Lap the shores of cape fear
Chile your water runs red
Through Soweto
The same hand
The same water
Chile your water runs read Through Soweto If you heard about Chile Then you heard about Soweto Where the blood of oppression Runs deep as the mines Chile your water runs red Through Soweto The hand that choked The spirit of Allende Pulls the trigger of a gun On the children of Soweto Chile your waters run red Through Soweto The hand that cut short The song of Viictor Jara Put young Steven Biko In a dusty hill grave Chile your water runs red Through Soweto The hand of oppression Is the hand of hunger The waters of Chile Lap the shores of cape fear Chile your water runs red Through Soweto The same hand The same water Explain Request ×
