Lyrics of unite #Tribute to Johnny Clegg

V1  
Compose that melody from out the slums
With visions from the dirt it comes  
For deprivation in the streets  
The tribal drum beat of their needs  
 
Chorus  
The strum that bent aparthied ear  
Its message ringing loud and clear  
Give us, give us our rights not genocide  
The nations blood in black and white  
Come sing with me on the rising tide  
 
V2  
The cell that rules and then divides  
To turn against its host and thrive  
Society cannot be repaired  
When few have much and the nations body hurts  
 
  Repeat chorus  
V3  
When to sing in sharps and flats  
The discord when one string is broke  
To carry on and still to know  
The messages of love and unity so powerfull  
 
 Repeat chorus  
V4  
The end of life cant deny a talent great  
In death the backing vocals fade  
That corruption that you fought carried that spade  
You recordings be your last parade  
Play that again for the enchore we said  
 
Repeat chorus
