Lyrics
We Resist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Putting flowers into guns
This is not the summer of love
Throwing tea into the sea
Indigenous apology
Only if
We resist
It's a storm
Without end
Where's the lighthouse?
Where's a friend
Come to think
It can't last
Only if
We resist
Free market and labour rights
Women's vote and hunger strikes
War is over in Times Square
Please don't say that nobody cares
Standing up to those who sell fear
With a polite insistence to hear
Only if
We resist
It's a storm
Without end
Where's the lighthouse?
Where's a friend
Come to think
It can't last
Only if
We resist
Only if
We resist
It's a storm
A storm without end
Where's the lighthouse?
Where's a friend
Come to think
It can't last
Only if
We resist
