We're standing here

We're standing here, because of those who've gone before,
We're standing here, on the shoulders of strong folk,
We're standing here, we owe a debit of gratitude,
For without their fights, we'd live a different life.

They stood for truth, for justice and for freedom,
They stood for rights, they stood up for the poor,
They fought for jobs, equality and unity,
We thank them all, their memories must live on.

We feel their power, we stand here in humility,
And we declare their memories must live on,
In love and thanks, and certainty we'll carry on,
We thank them all, their memories must live on.

We're Standing Here becase of those who've gone before - Sarah Westcott, Helen Yeomans

We're standing here, because of those who've gone before,
We're standing here, on the shoulders of strong folk,
We're standing here, we owe a debit of gratitude,
For without their fights, we'd live a different life.

They stood for truth, for justice and for freedom,
They stood for rights, they stood up for the poor,
They fought for jobs, equality and unity,
We thank them all, their memories must live on.

We feel their power, we stand here in humility,
And we declare their memories must live on,
In love and thanks, and certainty we'll carry on,
We thank them all, their memories must live on.
