16 June 1976

Oh, there was no place in the sun,
The tyre was burning in Soweto,
The sjambok was whipping,
The police dog was biting,
And the pistol was shooting.
Blood became our drinks,
Death became our friends,
Protesting became our games,
And prison became our homes.
We fought and uphill our battle.
And we lost the lives of our fellow pupils.
Our future leaders!
We will always remember you.
Oo, No pain, no gain!
