We live in changing times When certain thoughts are now a crime Power flows through an evil pen And freedom's light in growing dim
One day if suddenly, I'm forced to take my leave Will you still carry on, with the things that we believe? One day if suddenly, they take my life away Will you still be fighting to win a bright new day?
The people who've stood against us They seem to be above the law With the power to listen into private moments in our lives And the power to come kick down your door
One day if suddenly, I'm forced to take my leave Will you still carry on, with the things that we believe? One day if suddenly, they take my life away Will you still be fighting to win a bright new day?
Our strength has come from ideals many years' old A strength that has survived within our blood A strength our foe has recognised, and sworn to drag it down He wants to drag our people through the mud
One day if suddenly, I'm forced to take my leave Will you still carry on, with the things that we believe? One day if suddenly, they take my life away Will you still be fighting to win a bright new day?
One day if suddenly, I'm forced to take my leave Will you still carry on, with the things that we believe? One day if suddenly, they take my life away Will you still be fighting to win a bright new day?
