It's Important |
| My love is strong for those who are gone |
| Those who have suffered, fought against wrong |
| I will rejoice that some people fight |
| They fight against evil, fight for our rights |
| Someday we’ll be happy and free, in harmony, that’s right |
| Everyone will old hatreds kill, differences will unite |
| It’s important, it’s important, it’s important, to us |
| And I know we could all live together |
| Because I’ve seen it with my own two eyes |
| Black man, white man, jew and muslim |
| Seeing no need to despise |
| To despise something because it is different |
| Is an evil that has hurt for so long |
| I’ve seen them work and play together |
| And the feeling feels so good, it can’t be wrong |
| And if you see Mr. James Connolly |
| Will you tell him that it wasn’t in vain |
| Because he made us strong, for to fight against wrong |
| And a dream that’s strong can never be slain |
| And if you see Robert Nesta Marley |
| Will you tell him that each and every day |
| The words that he spoke are still giving us hope |
| And guiding us through life the right way |
| And I’ll try to follow Mr. Daniel O’Connell |
| Strike a blow for the downtrodden man |
| Because to my nation he tried to give emancipation |
| He was a paddy but for office he ran |
| And Nelson Mandella is a gem of a fella |
| He triumphed because his will was so strong |
| Followed his dream and brought down a regime |
| Laid foundations he can now build upon |
| To us, to us, to us |
