Lyrics

[Intro]

We shall go on till the end

We shall fight on the seas and oceans

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be

We shall never surrender

[Verse 1]

History recalls how great the fall can be

While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea

Born on the wings of time

It seemed the answers were so easy to find

"Too late," the prophets cry

The island's sinking, let's take to the sky

[Verse 2]

Called the man a fool, stripped him of his pride

Oh, everyone was laughing up until the day he died

Oh, though the wound went deep

Still, he's calling us out of our sleep

My friends, we're not alone

He waits in silence to lead us all home

[Chorus]

So you tell me that you find it hard to grow

Well, I know, I know, I know

And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow

Well, I know, I know, I know

[Bridge]

Dreamer

[Verse 3]

Can you hear what I'm saying?

Can you see the parts that I'm playing?

Holy man, rocker man, come on, Queenie

Joker Man, Spider Man, blue-eyed meanie

So you found your solution

What will be your last contribution?

Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?

Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy, yeah
