The Revolution

The Revolution - Chris De Burgh

Wake up boys there's a light at the window

I can hear someone knocking on the door

There are voices in the street

And the sound of running feet

And they whisper the word --

"Revolution "

There are men coming down from the valleys

There are tall ships lying off the coast

And they carry the light

In the dark of the night

Like a whisper in the wind --

"Revolution "

Bring my gun and a handful of silver

By the sea we will gather for the fight

It's been so many years

So many tears

We have lost once before

Now we'll settle the score

When our cannons will roar --

"Revolution "

Watch and wait get ready for the sign

There are many here among us now who have not seen the light

We must send the word to all the people in the land

Go to every hill and mountain

For the time is now at hand

To light a fire

Light a fire

Light a fire

Let us march the road up the rocky hill tonight

Under cover of the darkness

We will slip behind the lines

And we will take the men who have stolen our land

For the years of domination

Hit them right between the eyes

And light a fire

Light a fire

Light a fire

They will see through the world
