lyrics

The tents are all gone but still their imprints remain.
The army’s moved on but we were not there in vain
They can’t hide in their halls
They can’t pretend we’re not here
They will listen or else
We will back there again next year.

The country I love is not the country I see
The nation we are is not the one we need be
They can burn down our camps
They can drive us from here
But they will listen or else
We will be back there again next year.

The soldier I was is not the man here today
The war over there won’t take our voices away
We will hold our heads high
Will tell the world till they hear.
They will listen or else
We will be back there again next year.
