Remembering Stephen Bantu Biko
Remembering an icon of the struggle
Remembering the epitome of the struggle

Remembering a leader worthy of remembrance
Remembering a leader worthy of remembrance.

Remembering Stephen Bantu Biko

Remembering his wisdom
Remembering his integrity
Remembering his dignity
Remembering his magnanimity
Remembering his role in history
Remembering his honor.

Remembering Stephen Bantu Biko
Remembering a proud African
Remembering a proud black man
I'm sure he seats in the company of other
great leaders in the world beyond the grave
He sits with Martin Luther King
He sits with Nelson Mandela
He sits with Kwame Nkrumah
He sits with Jomo Kenyatta
He sits with Julius Nyerere
He sits with Patrice Lumumba
He sits with Walter Sisulu
He sits with Albert Luthuli
He sits with Chris Hani
To mention but a few great leaders.
