Come
gather round the fire,
And
let me tell you a tale.
Of
men and boys,
And
the wars that they fought.
Let
me tell you of the women,
Strong
and brave,
Who
stood their ground,
As
the battles raged.
We
are a people,
Surrounded
by hate.
Driven
by hope,
Stunted
by fear.
We
are a people,
Whose
cause is just.
We
are a nation,
Whose
pride is strong.
We'll
march day and night,
By
the light of our fires,
They
may have the power,
But
we have the right.
Through
the dark that was brought,
We
stood and we fought.
Though
some of us fell,
Some
of us walked.
We
marched under banners,
Coloured
by sun.
We
marched and we danced,
Our
song always sung.
Through
city and suburb.
Through
homes and families.
We
came from afar,
Our
strength from within.
We
met with the enemy,
We
stood against time.
We
won many battles,
But
the war still goes on.
Come gather round the fire.
