The fire's burning
We lay our weapons
down to rest
This war ain't over
till all the people
will be free
Straight from our
hearts we cry
This war has stolen
too many lives
'Cause for the sake of
freedom we will die
Our songs will carry on
Oh lord we try
We try
to keep our dream alive
And voices will be heard
all around the world
So stand up and
cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
Stand up and
cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
Now brothers in prison
but no crime was
ever done
I call it racism
Ashamed I face
my fellow man
The children are
taken away
and families destroyed
And millions have
died from starvation
We can't go on this way
Oh Lord we pray
We pray
that maybe soon someday
the world will
smile again
and they shall
be released
So stand up and
cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
Stand up and
cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
Stand up and
cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
Stand up and
cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
Yeah stand up and
cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
Stand up and
cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
Stand up and
cry for freedom
and keep the dream alive
Stand up and
cry for freedom
and let them know
that we are here
Oh no
We can't go on this way
And we will
never give up
fighting for freedom
Yeah
And we will keep
this dream alive
