Lyrics:
Throughout the sad history the braveheart stood in the way Of the noble lords in pompous dress who had the evil say Counterpoint: ogani (Village/tribe) KuwambÉ (Beautiful Music) And all the families of the meek who seek-to live in love, in peace Cannot keep what belongs to them-the nobles want their fleece And those that know the pain and loss from those who rule in sin Must join together hand in hand until all justice wins And I see the spark of freedom in their eye And I see the spark of freedom in their eye Yes, I see the hope of freedom in their eye Yes, I see the Light of freedom in their eye Jumbé Counterpoint: yeke (freedom) Ken Saro-Wiwa, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Ken Saro-Wiwa Oh Wiwa, Oh Wiwa Jumbé Saro-Wiwa Counterpoint: omo oluwa ti ji dide ose (the Son of God Rising) Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah Jumbé (Chief) And good men run the gauntlet to try the righteous rule While others of the lesser code make them out a fool And those that have the power can wear the whitest robes While the meek and truly humble can only sing life's Odes And I see the spark of freedom in their eye And I see the spark of freedom in their eye Yes, I see the hope of freedom in their eye Yes, I see the Light of freedom in their eye Jumbé Ken Saro-Wiwa, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Ken Saro-Wiwa Oh Wiwa, Oh Wiwa Jumbé Saro-Wiwa A Thank-You in Swahili to Ken Saro-Wiwa: Asante mjomba mungu kumekucha Asante = thank you Mjomba = messenger Mungu = [of] God Kumekucha = the Son has risen Ken Saro-Wiwa was a freedom fighter who was executed by the Nigerian Government. The term Jumbé means "Chief" in Nigerian.
