Billy Bragg Sing Their Souls Back Home Lyrics

Sing Their Souls Back Home Lyrics

Sing our songs of freedom

And we sing our songs of peace

We sing about sweet harmony

For to make the fighting cease



Let's sing one song for the folks tonight

That are sleeping on the streets

Come on and sing their souls back home



Oh, oh, won't you sing along with me?

Come on, oh, oh, raise your voices now with me

And let them know that we want 'em back home

From wherever they may be

Come on and sing their souls back home



The wind blew and the birds, they flew

And they scattered everybody wide

Gathered up their loved ones

They were running from the tide



Now if we don't get these people back

Well, I fear this town will die

Come on and sing their souls back home



Oh, oh, won't you sing along with me?

Come on, oh, oh, raise your voices now with me

And let them know that we want 'em back home

From wherever they may be

Come on and sing their souls back home



Oh Lord, it's hard, don't you know

To be living in days like these

Terror and war do nothing

But shatter families



So let's reach out with all our hearts

For our soldiers overseas

Come on and sing their souls back home

Bring 'em home now



Oh, oh, won't you sing along with me?

Come on, oh, oh, raise your voices now with me

And let them know that we want 'em back home

From wherever they may be

Come on and sing their souls back home



Oh, oh, won't you sing along with me?

Come on, oh, oh, raise your voices now with me

And let them know that we want 'em back home

From wherever they may be

Come on and sing their souls back home
