take this song of freedom
put it on & arm yourself for the fight
don´t let them blind your eyes now
or listen to the devil liar
feelings growing getting stronger
but even now my hands are tied
i feel restricted i can´t cut loose this ball and chain that´s round my neck
what can i say that´s not been said before
until there´s a better way i´m gonna stay this way
come gather round you people to me
and listen now to what i say
sticks and stones will get us nowhere
there´s twenty years yet we still don´t know
what have we learnt is this all we can show
there must be a better way to end the day
we´ve got to stand now and push on through to the other side
we must not blind our eyes
or listen to the devil liar.
now we´re the nation of many colours
but everybody´s blood runs red
cut our wrists and bind together
too much blood has been spilt in hate
do it now for your children ´cause their lives are yet to come
do it now for you own sakes for freedom.
we´ve got to stand now and push on through to the other side
we must not blind our eyes
or listen to the devil liar.
do it now for your children ´cause their lives are yet to come
do it now for you own sakes for freedom.
for freedom.
we´ve got to stand now and push on through to the other side
we must not blind our eyes
or listen to the devi lliar.
