First of all I thank you Jah, for the beauty of life
For the spiritual strength, in my moments of strife
I thank you for the Bible, like a compass it's my guide
So I won't get lost or left no way, by the wayside
Although I've lost my dread, I haven't lost my sight
And until my day of rest, I will follow your light
I will fight against injustice, hypocrites, parasites and sodomites
And over evil I will win, with the truth and the right
My name is Pato Benton
This is my opinion
My name is Pato Benton
And this is my opinion
I do not hold no prejudice, for any other nation
As far as I'm concerned we're all a part of God's creation
A human is a human
So there should be no prejudice, because of one's complexion
There should be no prejudice, because of one's religion
For every man has got the right to make his own decision
I don't just talk to every man but also every woman
Understanding gives you knowledge, but the fear of God is wisdom
Wisdom is the compass that will show you the direction
Towards the light of Jah, and away from all illusion
My name is Pato Benton
Me born and grow in England Yes, my name is Pato Benton
And this is my opinion Sometimes I cry for my people in South Africa
Depressed and persecuted by apartheid law Under the rule of a mass murderer
Who goes by the name of Mr. Bota With tears in my eyes I look to the skies
And wonder how long must my people suffer But just like Malcolm X and Martin Luther
King Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela My dream is for all men to live as brother
So all freedom fighters, let's fight for freedom
Let's sing together
Whoa Mr. Bota
Free up South Africa
Whoa Mr. Bota
Free up South Africa
Sing it out
Whoa Mr. Bota
Free up South Africa
Whoa Mr. Bota
Freedom, freedom
Free up South Africa
This is my opinion
Ooh
This is my opinion
Ooh

Ooh
This is my opinion
Ooh
