Dignity and Backbone |
There is no cavalry coming over Vinegar Hill |
These boots I stand in |
Are the only boots I must fill |
We have seen the way of greed |
And yes I ve done my share |
Can we pull together now? |
Or are we going nowhere? |
Being a sovereign people |
Is not determined by finance |
But how we are with each other |
How we work and we play |
How we sing and we dance |
With dignity and backbone |
Dignity and backbone |
This world is achingly beautiful |
That my spirit is free |
It s not about where I come from |
As much as where I want to go |
I want to be the future |
Where I m planted I will grow |
Being a sovereign people |
I m not waiting for a leader |
I ll try to be one myself |
Live a good strong life |
Every day that is left |
Keep an eye on my neighbour |
Always open my hand |
Reach out to each other |
Imagine a new land |
Being a sovereign people |
