Fire Of Freedom lyrics

darlin, darlin` you`ve put up with so much
betrayed by your leaders, abandoned by your church
i`ve watched you suffer, now you`re older than your years
but you still look beautiful, though you`re fightin` back the tears

you can break down my door, you can even strip search me
never gonna take away my human dignity
beat me, shoot me, flame keep on burnin`
never gonna put out the fire of freedom

when we were children, we thought we would be
god`s anointed but the joke was on you and me
10 years later, we`re still searchin` for the sun
but i want you to know that our day will come

so many hopes and dreams lying in pieces
all of us betrayed by politicians` speeches
i want you to know, i`ll love you forever
our dreams will continue in the eyes of our children

out in the streets all i hear is violence
but the authorities react with silence
one law for you, for me it`s another
things gotta change, oh my sisters and brothers

?r? `se do bheatha `bhaile
anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh

don`t use the colour of my skin as an issue
hey politician, your lies are gonna get you
chickens comin` home to roost in the white house
blood on the streets if you don`t shut your big mouth

?r? `se do bheatha `bhaile
anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh

power to the people sang johnny lennon
20 years later we`re back at the beginnin`
sick of waitin` round for divine intervention
take to the streets if you`re lookin` for redemption

?r? `se do bheatha `bhaile
anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh
