Fire Of Freedom

Larry Kirwan
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 annointed 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 color 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 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 This page has been viewed 1120 times � Larry Kirwan

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 annointed 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 color 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

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
