Sanctuary

Sympathize with the underdog
Sympathize with the one who has not
Take the side of the underdog
Come on come on come on

Sympathize with the underdog
I read about it in a Sunday rag
Colour snaps of a man shot down
Wore a black gown

And the moon rose over San Salvador
To the sound of a gun
To the sound of the soldiers come
To the sound of a gun
To the sound of a yankee gun
To the sound of a gun

Oh sanctuary

Sympathize with the underdog
Sympathize with the one who has not
Take the side of the underdog
Come on come on come on

And the rain fell on a Belfast street
To the sound of tramping feet
To the sound of the soldiers come
To the sound of a gun
To the sound of the soldiers come
To the sound of a gun

Oh pray for me

I heard a sound
Is that the home far away?
No it's just the voice of power
The sound of war
The sound of war
The sound of war

Sympathize with the underdog
I read about it in a Sunday rag
Colour snaps of a man shot down
Wore a black gown

And the moon rose over El Salvador
To the sound of a gun
To the sound of the soldiers come
To the sound of a gun
And the rain fell on a Belfast street
And the moon rose over El Salvador
To the sound of a gun
To the sound of the soldiers come

And the moon rose over El Salvador
