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 |
