Testo da Stop The War Coalition

Marc Carroll
Don’t we all rise to the same sun?
I will lend my hand in the hope we stand in this and we are all together
Looking out for another, standing up for each other
Reaching out to everybody, stepping over no-one
I will not be blind to the agenda of division led by propaganda
It’s not their world it’s everybody’s and we all rise to the same sun
Side by side we are stronger, slowly that becomes power
Build a wall and I’ll climb over, shout me down and I’ll scream louder
I will take the path that I choose, I will walk with my heart free
I will strengthen what remains
I refuse their ball and their chain

I am not afraid of anybody, there is no-one above or below me
I won’t turn my back on the old, the sick, the silenced, frightened or the lonely
I was born with my hands free, I will die with my hands free
In my heart is only love
I will cross the land I was born on, it’s beauty will not be abandoned
I will strengthen what remains, without guilt, regret or shame
I refuse their ball and their chain

How much more are we going to stand for?
How many more are going to suffer?
When love is born from understanding the suffering in others
I will not step over my sister, I will not step over my brother
And I lend my hand in the hope we stand in this and we are all together
Looking out for another, standing up for each other
Reaching out to everybody, stepping over no-one
It’s not their world it’s everybody’s
It’s not their world it’s everybody’s
And we all rise to the same sun
