The fire is burning We lay our weapons down to rest This war ain't over 'Til all the people will be free Straight from our hearts we cry This has stolen too many lives 'Cause for the sake of freedom we will die Our sons will carry on
Oh Lord we try, we try To keep our dream alive And voices will be heard All around the world
Chorus: So stand up and cry for freedom And keep the dream alive Yeah, stand up and cry for freedom And keep the dream alive
Our brother's in prison But no crime was ever done I call it racism Ashamed I face my fellow man The children are taken away And families destroyed And millions have died from starvation We can't go on this way
Oh Lord, we pray, we pray That maybe soon someday The world will smile again And they shall be released
Chorus (3x) First 3 rules of chorus + And let 'em know that we are here
Oh no, we can't go on this way And we will never give up Fighting for freedom Yeah, and we will keep this dream alive
