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
