I Have Seen It All

I have lived through bad times when winter came to take lives

Somehow we rode the storm, somehow I kept them warm

And I have lived with hunger to stop my children starving

And cried when death would call

Oh I have seen it all

I have heard men scheming of ways to set men fighting

Who'd kill on battle day, what for they could not say

And I have seen men rioting when pride had stopped their pleading

When shots rang out they'd fall

Oh I have seen it all

So don't tell me you're finished, for I live on inside you

And all those in your line - a chain as long as time

And we would not be broken, and we gave you this morning

So now you have the chance

Take it with both hands

And when at last you fall

Why, you have seen it all
