Lyrics

There's a power sleeping under the streets
Whose mother carried you on weary feet
Whose father came for work and changed his name
He came for work, he changed his name
He found the work, he lost your name
Sleeping, but a power just the same
And they have gone into another country
Your brightest and your best
On and on into the distance
Flame of our resistance
Salt of our existence
Gone west, gone west
There's a power sleeping nobody knows
Years of washing other people's clothes
Who took the garbage out and brought the mail
Who swept the streets and felt no shame
Who walked the streets and took the blame
Sleeping, but a power just the same
And they have gone into another country
Your brightest and your best
On and on into the distance
Flame of our resistance
Salt of our existence
Gone west, gone west
He came for work, he changed his name
He walked the streets and felt no shame
He found the work and lost your name
And they have gone into another country
Your brightest and your best
On and on into the distance
Flame of our resistance
Salt of our existence
And they have gone into another country
Your brightest and your best
On and on into the distance
Flame of our resistance
Salt of our existence
Gone west, gone west
Gone west
