Lyrics
For over 70 years
Miners of Durham Countyhave come together once a year
For their demonstration on Gala Day
This was the first Durham rally since
The pits were handed over to the people
This year, one of the popular attractions was Mr Herbert Morrison
Who spoke of the link of solidarity between miners and other workers
I want you men of the pits to come through
I want this great scheme of nationalization to succeed triumphantly
The whole country is watching to see
How this great new organization
This new adventure
This new experiment comes out
The great experiment of socialism in a democracy depends on you
The whole future we are trying to build up in our country
Is for all our people and all our children
And it depends on you
Through the dark and through the hunger
Through the night and through the fear
Through the fight and years of hardship
Through the storms and through the tears
And although your feet are weary
And although your soul is worn
And although they'll try to break you
And although you'll feel alone
We will always stand together
In the dark, right through the storm
We will stand, shoulder to shoulder
To keep us warm
And the stars look down on the mean and hungry
And the stars look down and show the way
And the stars look down and we'll stand together
To see a day
When the stars look down and know our history
When the stars look down upon our past
And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun
And though our hands are bruised and bleeding
And our lungs are full with dust
And our hearts are near to breaking
We will never forgo the trust
We will fight through pain and hunger
Every arrow, every knife
We will never give the hope up
Of a proud and honest life
So we will always stand together
Through the frost, the hail, the snow
The stars are our redemption
And so we know
We're out!
The stars look down when we're abandoned
Look down in the heart of night
And the stars look down and give us vision
To see the light
The stars look down upon our struggle
The stars look down and know the past
The stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun
All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
'Til we've won
All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
All out 'til we've won
Billy, do you know why they're on strike, like?
It's to do with Maggie Thatcher, innit?
Why, what's she done, like?
Fucked if I know
See you at boxin'?
Yeah
See you, Billy
See you, Michael
Take me up and hold me gently
Raise me up and hold me high
Through the nights under darkness
Will come a day when we will fly
And although we've been rejected
And although we've been outcast
We will find a new tomorrow
When we come to rest at last
And we will stand there proudly
And we will never walk alone
And we will be returned
Back to our home
And the stars look down at their reflection
And the stars look down and there's a light
When the stars look down they'll see the justice
And the right
And the stars look down and see the struggle
And the stars look down and know the pain
And the stars will lead us back to where light shines again
Where we'll stand as one beneath the sun
One beneath the sun
When we stand as one
All out together
When we stand as one
All out as one
When we stand as one
All out for victory
When we stand as one
'Til we've won
When we stand as one
All out together
When we stand as one
All out as one
When we stand as one
All out for victory
When we stand as one
'Til we've won
When we stand as one
All out together
When we stand as one
All out as one
When we stand as one
All out for victory
All out 'til we've won
