There is a place  
On earth's motherland  
Where a people  
Die in bantu stands  
Manchild at eight  
Will face guns of hate  
Womanchild's fate  
Is life second rate  
 
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely  
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely  
 
They do a dance  
called Mbaqana jive  
Rainbow people  
Dancin' to stay alive  
After hours  
Party hand in hand  
After Shebeen  
Terror strikes again  
 
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely  
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely  
 
Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely  
Dark 'n' lovely  
 
The whole planet's watchin'  
And the Sun God is watchin', too  
Hey there Botha  
Yes, we are watchin' you  
Spirits can do  
Jah will stop this reign  
Watch our world turn  
To help those in pain  
 
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely  
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely  
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely  
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely  
Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely
