47 Black Fire Of Freedom Lyrics

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

óró '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

óró '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

óró 'se do bheatha 'bhaile
anois ar theacht an
tsamhraidh
