Now, human rights and equality must stand for the whole of mankind
Regardless of what colour, class or race you may be
We want human rights and equality
We want human rights and equality
We want human rights and equality, Lord
We want human rights and equality
Now we have unnecessary poverty
Innocent people losing their liberty
We have nuclear insanity
In this so-called civilised society
Money and power, they are the priority
People only care about their own prosperity
Oh, what has happened to human morality?
Lord, what has happened to the people's mentality?
World leaders think they've got authority
To have bombs and wars and brutality
It seems like their speciality
Is filling the world with radioactivity
Nuclear war would be a monstrosity
Yes, a wicked and bad activity
So much people would go to the cemetery
Just to satisfy one man's vanity, Lord
We want human rights and equality
We want human rights and equality
We want human rights and equality, Lord
We want human rights and equality
Now, apartheid is an obscenity
A horrendous crime against humanity
People out there, them a take some liberty
Like them have some form of divinity
Nelson Mandela is a man of nobility
Long, long time he's been in captivity
They tried to make him lose his dignity
But they've turned him into a celebrity
And you don't have to go to university
Just to know that food is a necessity
Some have none, some too much
It ain't right, what a calamity
And if you're poor with a split personality
They say it is a form of insanity
If you're rich with the same personality
They call it eccentricity
What we need is more sincerity
Make peace and love a reality
Show good will and show unity
In each and every community, Lord
We want human rights and equality
We want human rights and equality
We want human rights and equality, Lord
We want human rights and equality
Cah mi say, each and every person should be free
Every man, every woman, every little baby should be
Free to speak, and free to eat, and free to wake
And free to sleep, and free to walk, and free to joke
And free to talk, and free to vote, and free to laugh
And free to smoke, and free to wish, and free to hope
And free to see what they want to see
Free to have their own personality
Free to be what they want to be
As long as they live their life righteously
We want human rights and equality
We want human rights and equality
We want human rights and equality
We want human rights and equality
