»THE WORLD'S GREATEST FEAR«
(by Vusi Chris Venus Malala)
IF YOU HAVE IT, THEY HATE YOU.
IF YOU REVEAL IT,DISPUTE RISES
ONLY A FEW SEARCH FOR IT.
AND SOME DIE FOR IT.
IT HURTS,DESTROYS AND KILLS
OH YES IT KILLS
FAMILIES SPLIT AS IT COME OUT
HATRED IS GENERATED BY THOSE WHO FEAR IT.
SOME OF US CONFESS IT TO CLEAR OUR CONSCIENCES,
SOME OF US HIDE IT TO PROTECT
GREAT FEAR IS WHAT THOSE WITHOUT IT POSSES
IT COMES WITH REDEMPTION
IT SET OUR SOULS FREE
YES THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE
IF YOU REVEAL IT,DISPUTE RISES
ONLY A FEW SEARCH FOR IT.
AND SOME DIE FOR IT.
IT HURTS,DESTROYS AND KILLS
OH YES IT KILLS
FAMILIES SPLIT AS IT COME OUT
HATRED IS GENERATED BY THOSE WHO FEAR IT.
SOME OF US CONFESS IT TO CLEAR OUR CONSCIENCES,
SOME OF US HIDE IT TO PROTECT
GREAT FEAR IS WHAT THOSE WITHOUT IT POSSES
IT COMES WITH REDEMPTION
IT SET OUR SOULS FREE
YES THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE
