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.
