Take this song of freedom<br />
Put it on & arm yourself for the fight<br />
Don't let them blind your eyes now<br />
Or listen to the devil liar<br />
<br />
Feelings growing getting stronger <br />
But even now my hands are tied<br />
I feel restricted I can't cut loose This ball and chain that's round my neck<br />
<br />
What can I say that's not been said before<br />
Until there's a better way i'm gonna stay this way<br />
<br />
Come gather round you people to me <br />
And listen now to what I say<br />
<br />
Sticks and stones will get us nowhere <br />
There's twenty years yet we still don't know<br />
<br />
What have we learnt is this all we can show<br />
There must be a better way to end the day<br />
<br />
We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side<br />
We must not blind our eyes<br />
Or listen to the devil liar.<br />
<br />
Now we're the nation of many colours <br />
But everybody's blood runs red<br />
Cut our wrists and bind together<br />
Too much blood has been spilt in hate<br />
<br />
Do it now for your children 'cause their lives are yet to come<br />
Do it now for you own sakes FOR FREEDOM.<br />
<br />
We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side<br />
We must not blind our eyes<br />
Or listen to the devil liar.<br />
<br />
Do it now for your children 'cause their lives are yet to come<br />
Do it now for you own sakes FOR FREEDOM.<br />
FOR FREEDOM.<br />
<br />
We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side<br />
We must not blind our eyes<br />
Or listen to the devi lliar.
