Take this song of freedom Put it on and 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
