The fire's burnin'
We lay our weapons down to rest
This war ain't over
'Till all the people will be freeStraight from our hearts we cry
This war has stolen too many lives
Give for sake of freedom we will die
Our sons will carry onOh Lord we try, we try
To keep our dream alive
And voices will be heard
All around the worldSo stand up and cry for freedom
And keep the dream alive
Stand up and cry for freedom
And keep the dream aliveNow brothers in prison
But no crime was ever done
I call it racism
Ashamed I face my fellow menThe children are taken away
And families destroyed
And millions have died from starvation
We can't go on this wayOh Lord we pray, we pray
That maybe soon someday
The world will smile again
And they shall be releasedSo stand up and cry for freedom
