Weeping - Soweto String Quartet Vusi Mahlasela[00:00:00]
I knew a man who lived in fear[00:00:12]
It was huge it was angry it was drawing near[00:00:17]
Behind his house a secret place[00:00:24]
Was the shadow of a demo[00:00:29]
He could never face[00:00:32]
He built a wall of steel and flame[00:00:36]
And men with guns to keep it tame[00:00:42]
And standing back he made it plain[00:00:48]
That the nightmare would never ever rise again[00:00:53]
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain[00:01:00]
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow[00:01:07]
He tells the world that it's sleeping[00:01:13]
But as the night came around[00:01:18]
I heard its lonely sound[00:01:22]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:01:25]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:01:31]
It was[00:01:46]
And then one day[00:01:53]
The neighbors came[00:01:55]
They were curious to know about[00:01:58]
The smoke and flame[00:02:01]
They stood around outside the wall[00:02:04]
But of course there was nothing[00:02:10]
To be heard at all[00:02:13]
My friends he said[00:02:16]
We've reached our goal[00:02:19]
The threat is under firm control[00:02:22]
As long as peace and order reign[00:02:28]
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain[00:02:33]
Why the fear and the fire[00:02:40]
And the guns remain[00:02:43]
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow[00:02:47]
He tells the world that it's sleeping[00:02:53]
But as the night came around[00:02:59]
I heard its lonely sound[00:03:02]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:03:05]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:03:11]
Say ah say ah say ah[00:03:40]
Say ah say ah say ah[00:03:46]
Say ah say ah say ah[00:03:52]
Say ah say ah say ah[00:03:58]
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow[00:04:05]
He tells the world that it's sleeping[00:04:11]
But as the night came around[00:04:17]
I heard its lonely sound[00:04:20]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:04:23]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:04:29]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:04:35]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:04:41]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:04:53]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:05:05]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:05:11]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:05:17]
It wasn't roaring it was weeping[00:05:29]
