We voyaged on ships with dreams and plans in our hearts,

From lands of sunshine to Britain ’s grey skies,

Through struggles and pain, we held on so tight [hey],

building a future, with hope in our sight.

So let’s rise up and sing, for the Windrush today,

Celebrate our journey, in our own special way,

Though justice is still coming , let us dance , let us dance in the sun ,

For the Windrush generation, our victory’s begun.

From the NHS wards to the fields we have sown,

We’ve planted our roots [yeah], and our legacy has grown [whoa],

In churches we congregate and in streets, side by side, Our stories

are powerful, unrelenting, our spirit will guide.

So let’s rise up and sing, for the Windrush today,

Celebrate our journey, in our own special way,

Though justice is still coming , let us dance , let us dance in the sun ,

For the Windrush generation, our victory’s begun.

Yes, we’ll gather together, a generation strong,

From West Midlands, we've come, with pride in our song,

In memories we will find, the strength to go on,

for we are united in love, our spirit lives on.

[yeah, yeah]So let’s rise up and sing, for the Windrush today ,

Celebrate our journey , in our own special way,

Though justice is still coming , let us dance , let us dance in the sun ,

For the Windrush generation, our victory’s begun, begun [yay].

Someday the world will see, the truth of our fight,

But tonight we’ll rejoice, in the warmth of our light,

For the Windrush generation, our story’s not done,

Together we stand, our hearts beat as one.

[our hearts beats as one, our hearts beat as one]
