Song lyrics

Born in Bondi with a keen eye for politics, many got degrees but don't know
What knowledge is, acknowledge his dedication to the truth and he never
Changed name just for chasing lute. So today he remains of the few, ain't
Here for fame, dedication to that news but... Not the news that your seeing
On Fox because they label his views as treasonous plots, believe it or not
He's a prize winning professor, been a front line eye witness to terror,
Been threatened to leave countries and had death threats, made me believe
How we deceived by you west press. And now I know why these secrets are
Best kept, right after his readings I be needing a stress test, a best bet
For those not familiar, check the intellect of Mr. John Pilger.

real heroes are hard to come by, lived in darkness but strived for
Sunshine, the human race would rise as one kind if these lies hypnotized
Our young minds
Sunshine

Born to a tribe in a south Africa village, in a country wealth but without
Any privilege his land pillaged by settlers with greed on their mind, they
Showed no respect so no peace he could find, he would read all the time, be
Speaking his mind, be a lead to the blind so his people would climb, free
Speech was a crime in the time that he lived, apartheid had people divided
By skin and not a guy to give in on a quest to be free, twenty seven years
Of life in a penitentiary, finished off degrees in both law and arts, so
Smart, leaving court rooms torn apart, showed heart like Phar Lap on
Release from jail, said "we are all one people let peace prevail" without
Fail we raise a glass in health to this fella, the selfless path of Mr. Nelson Mandela.

real heroes are hard to come by, lived in darkness but strived for
Sunshine, the human race would rise as one kind if these lies hypnotized
Our young minds
Sunshine

Real heroes are hard to find, with super powers that really
Exist. That influence the hearts of men. Who could you turn to if we did
Not have direction and inspiration from men like this, from men like
This...

real heroes are hard to come by, lived in darkness but strived for
Sunshine, the human race would rise as one kind if these lies hypnotized
Our young minds
Sunshine
