(N.C.)                                     G 
We love what we're fighting for, home boys home... 


     D                 G          D                G 
I believe the time is right, I believe we won't go wrong 
G                       /f#               G             A 
Words like "can't" and "never" they won't be around for long 
          D    G       D      A       D                G 
there's a rediscovered spirit here of people proud and strong 

 

          D       G          D        A 
  ('Cause)we know what we're fighting for,  
        D         G         D        A 
  we believe in what we're fighting for 
  D                  G  
  we love what we're fighting for,  
  D     A     G 
  home, boys, home!  

we have lived through troubled times, five centuries or more 
we could see the problems coming miles before they hit the shore 
now, when others take and condescend, we'll wink and nod no more 

Chorus 

we have made mistakes, it's true this ain't 'once upon a time' 
and 'happy ever after' is a long way down the line  
but with poison tongues and attitudes and sharp and clever minds 
oh!  

Chorus  

Half a million, side to side. from the big land to the bay 
join a peaceful revolution, let's make history today 
when the haves who finally conquered take the have-nots in their graves 

Chorus 

if you're near or if you're far,facts can guard your native coast 
tell the naive patronisers the whole truth, they need it most 
just look 'em in the eye and say our battle cry, our toast, 
cause it's now or it's never, we been pulled apart forever,  
if we'd only pull together, haul for home now lend a hand!
