Artist: Lucky Dube
Freedom fighter standing on a mountain In a foreign country Trying to send a message To his people, back in the ghetto He had a home one time Love of a girl But he left that behind Oh yes I can hear him clearly as he whispers in the air His voice came out loud and clear All he asked for was a prayer and as he turns to walk away he said Chorus: I'm still here in the house of exile For the love of the nation. Sun went down on the mountain Birds flew back to their hiding places Leaving him standing there like a telephone pole In the still of the night You and I dream Dreaming of Romeo & Juliet All he dreams about is the freedom of the nation When every man will be equal In the eyes of the law As he closes his eyes For the last time he said again Chorus: I'm still here in the house of exile For the love of the nation.

Trying so hard not to cry Since they say a man ain't supposed to cry But these tears keep running from my eyes I remember the day I came to the city. My children were crying My wife was scared She's gonna lose me To the girls in the city To make her feel alright I said it's impossible But I was wrong Chorus: Can't blame you when you're going This is something you've got to do You've got to go ho ho. You've been keeping me here all these years as your private lover Letters came from home But I never answered 'Till today when I got this letter From my little daughter saying "Missing you daddy." It's time to go Chorus: Can't blame you when you're going This is something you've got to do You've got to go ho ho. See me now, see me no more I heard that whistle blow I knew it's time to go Sitting here in this train Going so fast past the trees I'm thinking of words to apologize 'Cause sorry ain't enough Chorus: Can't blame you when you're going This is something you've got to do You've got to go ho ho.
