Lyrics

They All Sang
The ship set sail-with a very small crew
The destination-nobody knew
The ones on board got pushed ashore-no one knew why
Could?ve been Christmas-could have been July
The war lords came-with threats and knives
Couldn?t break their will-some lost their lives
Photos show their faces-behind the wire wall
Their ribs stick out -there?s not much left at all

They All Sang-They sang together
In the coldest rain-In the darkest weather
Some fell down-Some could barely stand
They tried their best-They took the worst
But They All Sang

Fewer and fewer-colder and colder
Thinner and thinner-shoulder to shoulder
No one?s got the strength no more-to battle or to run
The ones who kept them in-had the food and the gun

The sun blew up-the stars and the sea
The old are young-now the young are free
The moon exploded-then reappeared
They all went home-but They were here
