[00:00.000]Pretoria (1999 Digital Remaster|24 Bit Mastering) - Little Steven
[00:04.180]I was standing in pretoria
[00:09.024]Waiting for the sky to fall
[00:23.922]Impilo geyethu
[00:26.714]Thina sigidela phambili
[00:31.002]Impilo geyethu
[00:34.330]Thina sigidela phambili
[00:39.242]I am like any other man I don't complain
[00:44.938]But my family's so far away
[00:49.306]I want to be with them someday
[00:54.260]Men outside my window dressed in mask they live a lie
[01:00.541]But there's one truth that they cannot deny
[01:04.716]Their blood's the same color as mine
[01:09.186]I am not the prisoner today
[01:13.474]You've been too long your soul locked away
[01:17.171]Look around there is so much
[01:21.266]What are you so afraid of
[01:26.161]Impilo geyethu
[01:30.578]Thina sigidela phambili
[01:34.338]Pretoria
[01:35.018]Impilo geyethu
[01:38.505]Thina sigidela phambili
[01:42.585]Gather strength children say goodbye to the past
[01:48.825]Dry your eyes and prepare to dance
[01:53.225]The dance of freedom at last
[01:58.861]Put your hand here touch me now
[02:02.269]What you feel is what's lost when we're kept apart
[02:08.222]It's the beating of your own heart
[02:12.734]I'm no soldier no politician
[02:17.390]I'm just a working man whose time has come
[02:21.214]Look around there is so much
[02:25.079]What are you so afraid of
[02:29.879]Impilo geyethu
[02:34.439]Thina sigidela phambili
[02:37.958]Pretoria
[02:39.367]Impilo geyethu
[02:41.975]Thina sigidela phambili
[02:46.039]Come dance with us
[03:11.269]I was standing in pretoria
[03:15.241]Waiting for the sky to fall
[03:18.889]And the eyes of the war crimes icons
[03:22.601]Stared down with false immortality
[03:26.361]The fallen flowers of the purple jacaranda
[03:30.345]Covered the blood on the streets
[03:34.615]The faces of the statues are tainted
[03:38.191]With an unclean righteousness
[03:42.272]But inside they're crumbling
[03:45.919]They know they ain't got much time left
[03:51.455]In pretoria
[03:55.768]Thina sigidela phambili
[03:59.379]In pretoria
[04:01.203]Impilo geyethu
