"This song always gets stuck in my head even after hearing it so many years before as a child.
Met Lucky Dube once from a concert that my father took me to see.
Wonderful singing live, and one of the most friendliest guys I've met at the time. Felt honoured to shake his hand.
The day I heard about his murder though... those fools who did it just glad they were not near me. Lucky did not deserve what he got."

LYRICS: HOUSE OF EXILE
(Lucky Phillip Dube)
Freedom fighter standing on a mountain
In a foreign country
Trying to send a message
To his people, back in the ghetto
He had a home one time
Love of a girl
But he left that behind
Oh yes I can hear him clearly as he whispers in the air
His voice came out loud and clear
All he asked for was a prayer and as he turns to walk away he said
Chorus:
I'm still here in the house of exile
For the love of the nation
Sun went down on the mountain
Birds flew back to their hiding places
Leaving him standing there like a telephone pole
In the still of the night
You and I dream
Dreaming of Romeo & Juliet
All he dreams about is the freedom of the nation
When every man will be equal In the eyes of the law
As he closes his eyes
For the last time he said again
Chorus till fade
