[male vocals] I
was
walking
with
my
friend,
A
friend
who
carried
a
dream,
Brian
was
standing
as
a
candidate,
And
I
stood
beside
him
in
peace.
Then
bullets
came
like
thunder,
And
my
life
was
taken
away,
Now
I
ask
from
the
silence, “
Why
did
you
take
me
that
day?”
Chorus
Is
it
an
offence
to
have
a
friend?
Is
it
a
crime
to
stand
by
his
side?
Why
did
the
bullets
answer
questions
That
nobody
explained
that
night?
I
am
Mutotwe
Kafwaya,
My
voice
may
be
gone
but
hear
me
say:
If
friendship
is
not
a
crime,
Why
was
my
life
taken
away?
Verse 2
They
say
the
special
forces
came,
With
guns
that
spoke
so
loud,
But
what
was
the
crime
against
me?
What
judgment
had
I
been
found?
If
there
was
a
case
against
me,
Why
was
I
not
given
a
chance?
Why
did
my
story
end
in
bullets
Before
I
could
explain
my
stance?
Chorus
Is
it
an
offence
to
have
a
friend?
Is
it
a
crime
to
stand
by
his
side?
Why
did
the
bullets
answer
questions
That
nobody
explained
that
night?
I
am
Mutotwe
Kafwaya,
My
voice
may
be
gone
but
hear
me
say:
If
friendship
is
not
a
crime,
Why
was
my
life
taken
away?
Bridge
Mama,
don't
cry
forever,
Father,
wipe
away
your
tears,
Tell
the
world
to
seek
the
truth,
Let
justice
conquer
fear.
I
did
not
choose
my
ending,
I
only
stood
with
a
friend,
Now
let
the
truth
be
uncovered,
Let
justice
have
the
final
word.
Final
Chorus
Is
it
an
offence
to
stand
with
Brian?
Is
friendship
now
a
crime?
Must
a
person
lose
his
life
For
being
there
at
the
wrong
time?
I
am
Mutotwe
Kafwaya,
Remember
my
name
and
my
cry: “
Let
the
truth
come
into
the
light,
And
let
justice
answer
why.”
Outro
If
I
cannot
speak
from
this
earth,
Let
my
song
speak
for
me…
Not
for
revenge,
but
for
justice,
Not
for
hatred,
but
for
truth.
Mutotwe
Kafwaya…
Your
question
remains:
Why?
