One day
One day you will see the light,
As you pass the demons of the night,
One day the rule of be mean keep them keen,
Will be just be a distant memory of that bad dream,
One day the haunted screams of those beneath,
Will stop mothers suffering eternal grief,
One day in lieu of our brothers being killed,
We can stop the rich mans pockets being filled,
One day we will have our say,
One day.
