And so they came with perfect schemes 
And precious dreams that made them one 
One by one 
Oh, and there they stood lost in the haze 
With spirits blazing like the sun 
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons 

They held the light 
Yes they did 
And it shined all night 
Oh, all night 
And they took the blows 
Yes they did 
Never letting go 
Oh no, oh no 
Oh no 

And so they came with perfect schemes 
And precious dreams that made them one 
One by one 
Oh, look up and see the eagles fly 
And fill the sky beneath the sun 
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons 

You hold the light 
Yes you do 
And you've got the right 
Oh, got the right 
And you'll feel the blows 
Yes you will 
Don't you dare let go 
Oh no, oh no 

Said that we have the right 
Yes we do 
It's down in black and white 
Oh oh, oh oh 

And we made it so 
Yes we did 
And we won't let go 
Oh no, oh no
