The Chant Has Begun |
| The spirit of the people |
| The spirit of the people |
| The spirit of the people |
| The rhythm has begun … |
| Old men with their protocol |
| Lead us off to war |
| Sometimes we don’t even know |
| What we’re fighting for |
| Marching to the beat of their drum |
| Leaders we no longer trust |
| Told too many lies |
| The promises they made to us Were never realised |
| Hear me now the chant has begun |
| Nowhere left to turn |
| No-one left to turn to Voices raised in anger |
| They don’t have the answer |
| Our whole world’s in danger |
| Oil slicks on the ebbing tide |
| Progress out of hand |
| Blind men choke on swallowed pride |
| Heads down in the sand |
| Don’t wanna see the damage they’ve done |
| Trees destroyed by acid rain |
| Falling from the skies |
| When our children place the blame |
| Who will tell them why |
| Hear me now the chant has begun |
| Why is love so rare |
| All this talk of warfare |
| Voices raised in anger |
| They don’t have an answer |
| Pass the word along |
| We can wait no longer |
| Too much blind destruction |
| Follow love’s instructions |
| Now the chant has begun |
| (chant) |
| Make your choice there’s no escape |
| Add your voice, the chant has begun |
