THE BATTLE'S ALMOST OVER BUT THE WAR HAS JUST BEGUN THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE ARISES WITH THE SETTING SUN WE WILL MARCH INTO THE FIELD WE WILL MARCH VICTORIOUS 'CAUSE THE STING OF THE FIGHT HERE IS NOTHING NEW TO US Way back - back when I was young Growing up taught not to jump the gun About a man's colour or creed Six years down and now I finally see It's a war with the words we write We'll stand together black and white One goal in mind is all we have Side by side - hand in hand So send the warning red alert 'Cause our battles just begun Out there on the airwaves Prejudice gone and dug itself a grave Words are ammunition Poetry like bullets from a gun Until every women and every man Are side by side - hand in hand CHORUS THe time is gonna come to stand up for yourself It's a dawn of a new age now CHORUS The battle's almost over - the war has just begun It won't be over until we're all side by side
