It’s the rumble and the thunder of boots
It’s the fire in the sky
When you cut this tree down to the roots
It’s leads to you and I How can you just perpetuate
When you hear a mother cry
There’s a land of opportunity here
But you need not apply, you need not apply
Don’t bring that sin against the skin and drag me through the mud
You’re only free cos they can’t see the colour in your blood
The colour in your blood oh the colour in your blood
You’re only free cos they can’t see the colour in your blood
Isn’t this why they fought and they died
When they put it to the test
Working men standing side by side
Taking bullets in the chest
We shall overcome, we will not regress
We will not regress, we will not regress
Don’t bring that sin against the skin and drag me through the mud
You’re only free cos they can’t see the colour in your blood
The colour in your blood oh the colour in your blood
You’re only free cos they can’t see the colour in your blood
The colour in your blood, oh the colour in your blood
The colour in your blood, oh the colour in your blood
