Sun Over Our Heads

[Intro]
Hold on, in the dawn's early light
Struggling for a piece of sun, for what’s right
Tears in our eyes, hearts heavy with pain
We pray for hope, for sun after rain

[Verse 1]
Walking these fields where shadows cast long
Fighting for our land, trying to stay strong
Laws that divide, our voices grow faint
In a land of promise, a land taint

[Pre-Chorus]
They sing their song of hate, but we stand tall
For every farm, for every call
Our lives deemed nothing, but we won’t fall
Through the storm, we’ll hear that call

[Chorus]
God keep us safe, from hell’s own fire
Lift us up from this mire
We pray, we cry, we hold on tight
Guide us through the endless night

[Verse 2]
Corruption’s shadow darkens our days
Robbed of our hopes in so many ways
But still we dream of brighter skies
Beyond the pain, beyond the lies

[Pre-Chorus]
Singing amid the tears, we stand tall
For the lives we love, for us all
Though they see us as nothing, we resist
With hope clenched tight in fists

[Chorus]
God keep us safe, from hell’s own fire
Lift us up from this mire
We pray, we cry, we hold on tight
Guide us through the endless night

[Bridge]
From the ashes, we will rise
With faith renewed, and hope in our eyes
Though darkness falls, dawn will come
A better day for everyone

[Outro]
Hold on, keep praying for peace
May the light of justice increase
In your arms, we find our grace
Long live the brave, brave to go to a other land.
To live free and safe.
