Letra de The Day They Set Jim Larkin Free
I see what is, I see the way things should be They made a mistake sending me to jail Made a worse one setting me freeI see what is, I see the way things should be Those scabs will regret the day They set Jim Larkin free.The sun is blazing, morning's here But no light in our eyes Nothing but fear and apprehension And their lies Then down the lane, the big man strides A force of nature unleashed And all our doubts dissipate before him As we follow his leadI see what is, I see the way things should be They made a mistake sending me to jail Made a worse one setting me freeLook up at the stars, throw the light into dark places You can't see the heavens above When you're down there on your kneesGo on nail me for treason - arrest me for conspiracy But I know it's no crime to desire That my people should be free'Cause I see what is, I see the way things should be Those scabs will regret the day They set Jim Larkin free.The stars are bleeding, night has come The city sleeps in tears Nothing to cling to but each other Tomorrow, the same fears The sound of voices in the distance Messiah is close at hand Rise up, rise up, my poor afflicted You too can taste the promised landI see what is, I see the way things should be They made a mistake sending me to jail Made a worse one setting me freeLook up at the stars, throw the light into dark places You can't see the heavens above When you're down there on your kneesGo on nail me for treason - arrest me for conspiracy But I know it's no crime to desire That my people should be free'Cause I see what is, I see the way things should be Those scabs will regret the day They set Jim Larkin free
