Children of Fear (2004 version) Lyrics by The Wolfe Tones

The Troubles

0

People of plight, you have fought for the right
To rid of your countries injustice
In a cold prison cell, you serve out your hell
Not knowing the sweet taste of freedom
But tomorrow will come with a break of the dawn
And winter will change into spring
Then we can for the new, brighter things
When our hopes and our dreams will come true
'Twas not long ago, in our march you did show
Those old and bad ways must be changing
But you met with ill fate, those people of hate
With their sticks and their stones, they were ragin'
But the cold winds of change will come with the morn
And the wind will change to a storm
And if the trees don't bend in the breeze
Then they surely must bend in the storm
Word for a word and sword for a sword
Is the cruel way that life has been showing
In a city of hate, it is never too late
To see friendship and love start a-growing
But the damage is done to Ireland's sons
And a flower won't grow on a stone
And blossoms won't grow on the streets of our land
To the right, seas of love, they are sold
Children of fear, the time, it is near
That our land had a change of good fortune
For the struggle and fight has gone through the night
And has been there for many's the long year
It is not for the want of the courage you've shown
And our ship is not lost to the seas
And to the world, let our struggles be known
Till all prisoners of hate are set free
