We're back here again and I thought this time it'd passed
But it's always darkest before the dawn and I am holding on to that
We got it wrong and it seems that they're getting more right
And as the storm clouds all creep in it's getting hard to see the light
But there is hope and we've got enough to go around
There's a light that in the darkness can be found
There's a flame; a beacon that's not going out
There's a cause
And if we're damned we'll all go down together
We'll keep up the fight through the dark and stormy weather
'Cause that's all we've got; we'll hold on to each other
And we will mend
We'll get there in the end
The next act begins as the actors take to the floor
Whether a pantomime or a tragedy the crowd still calls for more
The curtains rise and it seems like everything's changed
But it's just a little bleaker now; the cause remains the same
But there is hope and we've got enough to go around
There's a light that in the darkness can be found
There's a flame; a beacon that's not going out
There's a cause
Yeah, we've something left to fight for
And if we're damned we'll all go down together
We'll keep up the fight through the dark and stormy weather
'Cause that's all we've got; we'll hold on to each other
And we will mend
We'll get there in the end
To the people sleeping rough tonight
Out underneath the cold street lights
And the one's who sing their kids to sleep
Who starve themselves so they might eat
To the people who've been left behind
And the ones we've lost to suicide
To those who don't know what to do
Listen up; this one's for you
To everyone who fought so hard
Now black and blue and battle scarred
To those who thought that we'd give up
We won't sit down we won't shut up
To those who stood and had their say
Who live to fight another day
Hats off to you the bold the brave
All I can say
Is if we're damned we'll all go down together
We'll keep up the fight through the dark and stormy weather
'Cause that's all we've got; we'll hold on to each other
And we will mend
And if we're damned we'll all go down together
We'll keep up the fight through the dark and stormy weather
'Cause that's all we've got; we'll hold on to each other
And we will mend
We'll get there in the end
