lyrics

We sound our call from the shore
As we have a thousand times before
While the waves ripple and the sun shines
Hear our call from the frontline

You love us 'cause we never seem to worry
Because we hardly ever hurry
Because you can be wealthy here
But let's make something crystal clear

You think the island is here to sell
But we know all too very well
That this is precious sacred ground
Now be quiet, and hear its sound

And we sound our cry in the hall of nations
A song for a thousand generations
A call for a resolution
For a real and true solution
A cry for restitution
A now or never revolution

You think the world is in your hand
That you can own the sea and sand
That the island's served on a silver platter
As if all life here doesn't matter

You fancy yourself royalty
But you cannot shake our loyalty
And as you sink in your own lies
Our strength soars to the skies

And we sound our cry in the hall of nations
A song for a thousand generations
A call for a resolution
For a real and true solution
A cry for restitution
A now or never revolution
