Song Lyrics

My brother's been shot down
My sister's been battered and used
My child has been handed a gun
Mother's been raped and abused
Daddy's got one foot in the grave
He's still crying over someone he couldn't save
I'm watching all this pain
And you say it's just a game

We will rise now, stand upright
We will burn like candles in the night
We will learn to sing, not to fight
Unless it's for our freedom right
We will hold each others' hands
Try hard to understand
Liberty is our demand
We are one people, one land

Some live a life of illusion
Not knowing of another solution
As we breathe in the deadly pollution
You know it's a shame

We will rise and stand upright
We will burn like candles in the night
We will learn to sing, not to fight
Unless it's for our freedom right
We will hold each others' hands
Try hard to understand
Liberty is our demand
We are one people, one land
Oh, one people, people

We must break these chains of gold
We've been slaves enslaved, we've been sold
All the lives, all the lies we've been told
If we keep moving along
We will sing a new song

We will rise and stand upright
We will burn like candles in the night
We will learn to sing, not to fight
Unless it's for our freedom right
We will hold each others' hands
Try hard to understand
Liberty is our demand
We are one people, one land
Oh, one people, one soul

One people, one people
One soul
One people, one people
One soul
One people, one people
One soul
