I hear a voice a'singing Down through history Telling of that sacred thing That belongs to you and me But there are men that would deny you 'Cause of greed they cause you pain We must not let them beat you You must lift your voice and say Let us be what we wanna be Let us go where we wanna go Let us say what we got to say Let us live our own lives today They came and took your freedom Stole your dignity They robbed you of your human rights With their evil tyranny They came into your land Changed your way of living Took away your pride There can be no forgiving Let us be what we wanna be Let us go where we wanna go Let us say what we got to say Let us live our own lives today We got to live There was a time oh so long ago That you and I will never know It was a time when the earth was born From the dreams of the only one Let us be what we wanna be Let us go where we wanna go Let us say what we got to say Let us live our own lives today
There is a time a'coming The tribes and clans will rise They'll have thunder in their hearts They'll have lightning in their eyes The pipe and the drum will be calling Calling once again Stand beside your brothers All ye, that are men Let freedom's flame burn so bright That all, all the world will see Let freedom's flame burn so bright That it shines, shines down on you and me They'll be sending out the soldiers To stamp the fires out Then we must burn more brightly We'll lift our voices and shout It'll be a time for axe 'n' sword And battle flags will wave There'll be a haunting sound in the hills Calling out the brave Let freedom's flame burn so bright That all, all the world will see Let freedom's flame burn so bright That it shines, shines down on you and me Let it shine Oh but the women will weep And the children will fret 'Cause they know the price will be dear But they understand that it's better to die free Than live a life of fear Let freedom's flame burn so bright That all, all the world will see Let freedom's flame burn so bright That it shines, shines down on you and me
Met a man from Ireland Drinking in a bar Although his voice was soft and warm His eyes were cold and hard He spoke of Irish children Knowing only war I wish I could've known him better I might've understood it all (And) I wish there was something I could say Something to ease the pain away I hear the voice of Poland It's calling out to me Sighing, crying Dying to be free Their streets are full of armour Their eyes are full of tears Must they live this life of sadness For years and years and years (And) I wish there was something I could say Something to ease the pain away I wish I was a hero Fighting for the rights of man Wish I was a tribesman In the hills of Afghanistan I wish I was a soldier Fighting for the peace Fighting down in El Salvador Fighting insanity, inhumanity I wish there was something I could say Something to ease the pain away

History's heroes were men of great deed They paid the price when others had the need There have been times the lions had to roar Those sad dark years when they went off to war There's been men who pushed fear aside Give me death or give me glory There'll be no talk of ever giving in now Give me death or give me glory No other choice we've got to fight to win now As long as one voice cries against the storm Someone to strike a light so freedom's flame will burn As long as there are men whose love runs strong and true Even in the darkest days there's hope for me and you There's been men who pushed fear aside With a song on their lips you'll hear them cry Give me death or give me glory There'll be no talk of ever giving in now Give me death or give me glory No other choice we've got to fight to win now We gotta win!
