On My Own
Lucky Dube · Together As One [2010]
My whole life
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
Too many people
Hate apartheid
Why do you like it?
Why do you like it?
Hey you rasta man
Hey European, Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese
Hey you rasta man
Hey European, Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese
Hey you rasta man
Hey European, Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese
The cats and the dogs
Have forgiven each other
What is wrong with us?
What is wrong with us?
All those years
Fighting each other
But no solution
But no solution
Hey you rasta man
Hey European, Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese
Hey you rasta man
Hey European, Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese
On My Own

Released during a period where he frequently explored themes of resilience and community, the recording exemplifies his ability to merge traditional church music structures with modern urban production. As a staple of his live performances and radio play, the track remains a powerful testament to his influence on the South African and global gospel-hip-hop scene, reflecting a commitment to uplifting messages delivered with raw vocal authenticity.
