SING A POWERFUL SONG

When the troubles of the whole wide world 

Come knockin' on your door 

And there's problems of a different kind 

That you've never had before 

When you've played against a gale force wind 

And it changes at half time 

And you find your strength deserting you 

And an emptiness inside 

When there's people that will harm you 

Though you've done to them no wrong 

It time to sing, it's time to sing, to sing a powerful song 

When they want to ruin our province 

Just to turn it into gold 

When they think our greatest asset 

Can be mined, dug up, and sold 

When the factories are all closin' 

Like they are in our home town 

And your friends are lookin' out for work 

That's nowhere to be found 

When the sprits they need a risin' 

To be happy, proud, and strong 

It time to sing, it's time to sing, to sing a powerful song 

When the sprits they need a risin' 

To be happy, proud, and strong 

It time to sing, it's time to sing, to sing a powerful song
