[ Featuring Porteous ]
They say we'll have a revolution,
They say it'll answer all our prayers,
They say it'll be the right solution,
They say there'll be freedom everywhere,
Oh what do we know, when we hear the cry?
Everything is crumbling, and we don't know why, we don't know why,
Across the hill the fire is burning,
Marching to the beat it's a raging drum, and
I long for that place, you are yearning,
The ground shakes where the thunder comes,
Oh what do we know, when we hear the cry?
Everything is crumbling, and we don't know why, we don't know why,
When we discover that, fear is our welcome mat, and
All the birds have abandoned the sky: we don't know why,
I stand beside you when the dawn breaks,
They say it's when the darkness comes,
I stand beside you as the earth shakes, and
Then we watch the setting sun,
Oh what do we know, when we hear the cry?
Everything is crumbling, and we don't know why, we don't know why.
