Chris de Burgh - The Revolution lyrics

Your rating:

Wake up boys, there's a light at the window
I can hear someone knocking on the door
There are voices in the street
And the sound of running feet
And they whisper the word 
Revolution!

There are men coming down from the valleys
There are tall ships lying off the coast
And they carry the light
In the dark of the night
Like a whisper in the wind 
Revolution!

Bring my gun and a handful of silver
By the sea we will gather for the fight
It's been so many years
So many tears
We have lost once before
Now we'll settle the score
When our cannons will roar 
Revolution!

Watch and wait, get ready for the sign
There are many here among us now who have not seen the light
We must send the word to all the people in the land
Go to every hill and mountain
For the time is now at hand
To light a fire
Light a fire
Light a fire

Let us march the road up the rocky hill tonight
Under cover of the darkness
We will slip behind the lines
And we will take the men who have stolen our land
For the years of domination
Hit them right between the eyes
And light a fire
Light a fire
Light a fire
They will see through the world

Roll away the dawn
Roll away the dawn and let me see
The land of the free
Has anything changed at all

Sweet liberty
Sweet liberty is in our hands
It's part of the plan
Or is it a state of mind?

Horses and men
Horses and men are on the field
They didn't yield
Many have fallen here

Never forget
Never forget what they have done
The time will come
When it will change again
Never forget

Never forget
