had to walk two hundred miles

I once said it would not happen anymore

From the borders to the northlands

of this land we call our own

Surely this is something worth fighting for



Chorus...



For we are the Brave Foot Soldiers

For we care for those who share in poverty

For our children's hopes and dreams

and their children's plans and schemes



For we are marching on the road to victory

I once had a notion that my father's

time had not been wasted

I said at least for us it would be fine

Not for us a struggling life of

fighting for what we believe in

No, our hardships would be of a different kind



Chorus...



I once heard a call that told me it

was well worth fighting for

I once saw a vision there before my eyes

Of a land where there was work for

all and plenty more to spare

No more empty promises and no more lies



Chorus...
