Here is the video to the song "Biko" written and performed by Peter Gabriel. The song is about South African Stephen Bantu Biko who fought against apartheid in the 1970s. The song is featured on the soundtrack of the film "Cry Freedom" starring Kevin Kline and Denzel Washington about the life of Stephen Biko, the struggle against apartheid and the desire of one man to make sure his death would not be in vain. It is also on Peter Gabirel's self titled album released in 1980. Below are the lyrics to the song. They are also attached in a file.
September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
*Ah Biko, Biko
Because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja (Xhosa for “Come/Ascend/Arise Spirit”)
The man is dead
The man is dead
When I try and sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one color dead
*Chorus
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
*Chorus
And the eyes of the world
Are watching me now
Watching me now
