The new dawn has risen

risen with the sun

I saw it in the children's eyes

a brand new revolution


they're the beginning

they're the present

and they are the past

they're history

and the future

flows in their veins

they're my new generals


they resist with their stones

in Palestine

face the baton charge

in Johannesburg

they fight like heroes

agaist the invaders

in Ireland

see them dancing on the ruins

in the days engraved with blood

they're my new generals


they're the beginning

they're the present

and they are the past

they're history

and the future

flows in their veins

they're my new generals
