lyrics

THEY SAY
WE'RE INDEPENDENT BUT THEY WONT SET US FREE
THEY SAY
WE ARE SOVEREIGN BUT WE SHACKLED AND CHAINED
THEY SAY
THE FUTURE IS NOW BUT THE PAST IS WITH US
THEY SAY
WE ARE TOMORROW BUT WE'RE STUCK IN YESTERDAY

BUT THERE'S A MAN DOWN HEAD DOWN
NO FOOD ON HIS PLATE
WILL HE BOW DOWN STAY DOWN
TO SEE ANOTHER DAY
HE IS PINNED DOWN SPIRIT DOWN
HIS BACK AGAINST A WALL
SO STAND DOWN STAND DOWN
LIBERATION WILL SAY

MAKE WAY FOR THE PEOPLE TODAY
MAKE WAY LIBERATION WILL SAY
MAKE WAY FOR THE PEOPLE TODAY
MAKE WAY LIBERATION WILL STAY

THEY SAY
WE WONT SIT AROUND WE'LL FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS
THEY SAY
YOU HAVE TRAMPLED US ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
THEY SAY
THE FUTURE IS NOW WE LEAVE BEHIND THE PAST
THEY SAY
WE ARE TOMORROW SAY GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY

AND WE WILL STAND UP HEADS UP
PUT FOOD ON OUR PLATES
WE WONT BOW DOWN STAY DOWN
WE'LL FIND ANOTHER WAY
WE WILL LOOK UP STAY UP
AND PUSH AGAINST THE WALL
SO RISE UP! RISE UP!
LIBERATION HAS SAID

MAKE WAY FOR THE PEOPLE TODAY
MAKE WAY LIBERATION WILL SAY
MAKE WAY FOR THE PEOPLE TODAY
MAKE WAY LIBERATION WILL STAY
