I hear footsteps all around me as I'm running for the light
I'm afraid that they have found me and I cannot hide
I have lost all of my brothers,
keep their lives up for the fight
And the crying of the mothers keeps me up all night
First you made me watch my kingdom fall
Pushed my people back against the wall
But our voices lift into a battle call
And we will rise and fight to beat them all
And I will find my way through the cold of rain,
through the trenches and the fire
Cause I must find my strength,
there's no losing faith when your heart is on the wire
I see
shadows in the distance,
hear a voice that sounds like home
You can take all our possessions,
but not where we're from
We might not be back for ages,
but you can't keep us away
With the bones of those before us buried in the clay
First you made me watch my kingdom fall
Pushed my people back against the wall
But our voices lift into a battle call And
we will rise and fight to beat them all
And I will find my way through the cold of rain,
through the trenches and the fire
Cause I must find my strength,
there's no losing faith when your heart is on the wire
