My People Lyrics

I stare across the crowd
The fear on all their faces
The children of the tribes
The prisoners of the flags unfurling
Protect us in these changing times
The warm embrace, the given price
My people right or wrong

Remember running from the hordes
The voices screamed behind us
I felt I′d die for you
In the sunlit hills of our home
The moments come then recede away
The empty words are hollow like the day
My people right or wrong

And outside it's cold
Staring up at the light in the window
And in the bitter cold
The thicker the blood
The faster it keeps on flowing
Get in your place boy
Leave without a voice
The thunder snaps the blade away

I′ve seen those who try to make a life
Without kin forever
So I'll take my place
Uncertain at your shoulder
The last few prayers the whistle blow
And into the fray once more we go
My people right or wrong
