Why kill Dube?
Like Biko and Samora
Like Mondlane and Lumumba
Lucky Dube killed
Heroes of liberation gone
Sweating with strides
With the cat like agility and
energy
Dube sung with emotion and
conviction
An inspiration of the masses
With his revolutionary lyrics
In the footprints of mytry Bob
Marley
For Africa he sung with
passion
With magical hits
Loaded with messages so clear
Like his clear eyes
Lucky Dube we moan you
Crying bitterly
Cursing the bloody finger
That pulled the trigger
Why kill Lucky Dube?
Why kill Dube?
An embodiment of laughter
A cheerful creation
Who captivated our souls?
Clutching his mike with
strength
Admirers going wild
As he took stage
Reaching across the world
Why kill Dube?
A harmless gift of humankind
May your conscious burn in you
With ghostly nights to haunt
you
For the rest of your life
Goodbye Lucky Dube
Pained your lovers we are
Though eternal you are
Your voice dominating the
waves
Your life cherished
A gift to humanity
Rest in peace
