Sun Over Our Heads

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
