Go swiftly; the flags and drums can hypnotise,
When glory has faded, the dream is worth more than the prize
A twisting, turning flame, and a freedom burning bright,
Knows all of the names and all of the games of the yellow, black and white,
We've gotta have faith to work it out,
Faith and hope, without any doubt,
Give us strength to make a start,
Put a song in our hearts.
We're never gonna break down these walls and build a prison with the stone,
'Cause you and I know what love is worth, we're gonna build a heaven on earth,
We're running in the wheels of fortune, turning water into wine,
We're gonna take love and make it shine, we're gonna find peace in our time.
Softly, softly, when there is lightening in the sky,
When the rivers are rising, and trouble rolls in on the tide,
We'll keep on keeping on 'til all the tears are dry,
We'll weather the storm and welcome the dawn of tomorrow, you and I,
We've gotta have faith and get it fast,
Faith and hope, make it last,
Give us strength to reach the stars,
Put a song in our hearts.
We're never gonna break down these walls and build a prison with the stone,
'Cause you and I know what love is worth, we're gonna build a heaven on earth,
We're running in the wheels of fortune, turning water into wine,
We're gonna take love and make it shine, we're gonna find peace in our time.
We're raising the dust - it's heaven or bust, and we'll see this dream come true,
We're gonna have faith,
And the road will be long, but there's hope to carry us on,
We'll have strength,
We'll never go wrong with this song in our hearts.
We're never gonna break down these walls and build a prison with the stone,
'Cause you and I know what love is worth, we're gonna build a heaven on earth,
We're running in the wheels of fortune, turning water into wine,
We're gonna take love and make it shine, we're gonna find peace in our time,
We're never gonna break down these walls and build a prison with the stone,
'Cause you and I know what love is worth, we're gonna build a heaven on earth,
We're running in the wheels of fortune, turning water into wine,
We're gonna take love and make it shine, we're gonna find peace in our time,
