Every thing's gonna be alright boys, help is on the way
Hold your head up high now, there's no need to cry now
We're not running anymore

Leave the politics behind boys, they're not working anymore
There's so much more at stake here, it's make or break here
Haven't we been here before - tell me what we're waiting for

[Chorus:]

You gotta remember, you don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you want to say
You gotta remember, don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave

Who sings the song of the people, you don't hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer, to the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like that before

So you're trying to shake this feeling, that trouble's right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night, like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting, just offshore - tell me what we're waiting for
