House Of Exile Lyrics - 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 

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 and 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 

I'm still here in the house of exile 

For the love of the nation 

I'm still here in the house of exile 

For the love of the nation 

I'm still here in the house of exile 

For the love of the nation
