The Revolution - Chris De Burgh

The Revolution - Chris De Burgh
Wake up boys there's a light at the window
I can hear someone knocking on the door
There are voices in the street
And the sound of running feet
And they whisper the word --
"Revolution "
There are men coming down from the valleys
There are tall ships lying off the coast
And they carry the light
In the dark of the night
Like a whisper in the wind --
"Revolution "
Bring my gun and a handful of silver
By the sea we will gather for the fight
It's been so many years
So many tears
We have lost once before
Now we'll settle the score
When our cannons will roar --
"Revolution "
Watch and wait get ready for the sign
There are many here among us now who have not seen the light
We must send the word to all the people in the land
Go to every hill and mountain
For the time is now at hand
To light a fire
Light a fire
Light a fire
Let us march the road up the rocky hill tonight
Under cover of the darkness
We will slip behind the lines
And we will take the men who have stolen our land
For the years of domination
Hit them right between the eyes
And light a fire
Light a fire
Light a fire
They will see through the world
