lyrics

On a river before it meets the sea
On its banks are banks and tourist traps, with shops + eateries
Where the theatres and council chambers lie
In a place where several people died

Though I never knew the person that you were
It seems to me your sacrifice was more than they deserved
In the face of danger you refused to hide
You were one, when several people died

And now people have to go about their day
And stronger than before
Like soldiers marching on through life
We will not lose this war, Sing…

Peace be with you, in every country
Lets sing peace be with you, then we can humbly
Come together as one, put down our guns, and win

Fight fire with kindness
And open your mind
If we can all unite and we can aim for a time
When we can combine, our resources and find
A place of equality for humankind
Instead of the blind always leading the blind
With someone always left behind, their visa’s get declined
Because their race or religion is how we define them
Do I have to remind you, that what is inside
Is the same biology whether you’re black or you’re white
Or any minority with which you identify
We are required today to put race aside
And stand with our brothers and our sisters with pride
Saying we’ll win this fight, for those people who died
People of every faith, lets hold our head up high and sing:

Peace be with you, in every country
Lets sing peace be with you, then we can humbly
Come together as one, put down our guns, and win

On a river before it meets the sea
On its banks are banks and tourist traps, with shops + eateries
Where the theatres and council chambers lie
On the bridge where several people survived
