|
The fire's burnin' |
|
We lay our weapons down to rest |
|
This war ain't over |
|
'Till all the people will be free |
|
Straight from our hearts we cry |
|
This war has stolen too many lives |
|
Give for sake of freedom we will die |
|
Our sons will carry on |
|
Oh Lord we try, we try |
|
To keep our dream alive |
|
And voices will be heard |
|
All around the world |
|
So stand up and cry for freedom |
|
And keep the dream alive |
|
Stand up and cry for freedom |
|
And keep the dream alive |
|
Now brothers in prison |
|
But no crime was ever done |
|
I call it racism |
|
Ashamed I face my fellow men |
|
The children are taken away |
|
And families destroyed |
|
And millions have died from starvation |
|
We can't go on this way |
|
Oh Lord we pray, we pray |
|
That maybe soon someday |
|
The world will smile again |
|
And they shall be released |
|
So stand up and cry for freedom |
|
And keep the dream alive |
|
Stand up and cry for freedom |
|
And keep the dream alive |
|
Stand up and cry for freedom |
|
And keep the dream alive |
|
Stand up and cry for freedom |
|
And keep our dream alive |
|
Yeah, stand up and cry for freedom |
|
And keep the dream alive |
|
Stand up and cry for freedom |
|
And keep the dream alive |
|
Stand up and cry for freedom |
|
And keep the dream alive |
|
Stand up and cry for freedom |
|
And let 'em know that we are here |
|
Oh no, we can't go on this way |
|
And we will never give up |
|
Fighting for freedom |
|
Yeah, and we will keep this dream alive |
