It was 25 years they take that man away

Now the freedom moves in closer every day

G                        D               Em
Wipe the tears down from your saddened eyes

G                     D              Em

Held behind four walls all through night and day

G                       D                  Em
Still the children know the story of that man

G                          D                    Em
And I know what's going on right through your land
