The Revolution

Wake up boys, there's a light at the window
I can hear someone knocking on the door
There are voices in the street
And the sound of running feet
And they whisper the word-
"Revolution!"

There are men coming down from the valleys
There are tall ships lying off the coast
And they carry the light
In the dark of the night
Like a whisper in the wind-
"Revolution!"

Bring my gun and a handful of silver
By the sea we will gather for the fight
It's been so many years, so many tears
We have lost once before
Now we'll settle the score
When our cannons will roar-
"Revolution!"
