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 devil liar

(Written by Macdonald/Peters)

Feelings growing getting stronger
But even now my hands are tied
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
Nineteen 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 got to realise that violence is not the answer

Here we stand at the edge of time
One step more into decline
So stand back now and count our loses
Stand back now and count our gains
We are one no matter what they say
We must look to the future
For all our sakes

We’ve got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We got to realise that violence is not the answer

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 have yet to come
Do it now for you own sake for freedom
For freedom

We’ve got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We got to realise that violence is not the answer
For freedom
For freedom
For freedom
