Maybe they feared a revolution
Or maybe it was just chauvinism
But for whatever reason
They would not let his voice be heard
By the suffering masses
Of the decaying metropolis
But his voice was heard somehow
In a land far far away
Where everything was seen in black and white
But the people longed for the rainbow's delight
His haunting voice filled their void
His piercing lyrics became their spear
His aura became their guiding light
Like a miracle unexpected
A revolution occurred
And the rainbow emerged
Meanwhile,
The Sugar Man still drifted unheard
In his grey urban wilderness

A case of real-life being stranger than fiction.
Inspired by the real-life story of Sixto "Sugar Man" Rodriguez. See "Searching for Sugar Man" and you'll know what I mean. Truly inspiring. Truly Amazing.
