from the fire the songs of all our fathers came from the fire to sing with us again
from the fire and on and on weʼll tell this tale from the fire this ship is gonna sail
you made a song for those whoʼve gone something we could carry on
so their voices would be strong
you made a song
and when all of the prophets come to tell our stories one by one
so we donʼt lose what they had won you made a song
from the fire the songs of all our mothers came from the fire to sing with us again
from the fire and on and on weʼll tell this tale from the fire this is gonna sail
now thereʼs been blood and thereʼs been sweat and these are things that we forget
all the sacrifice and yet you made a song
and when money rewrites history
who will we thank for being free itʼs for the ones that we donʼt see you made a song
from the fire the songs of all our people came from the fire to sing with us again
from the fire and on and on weʼll tell this tale from the fire this ship is gonna sail
and for those who go down in the street to vote their bodies mind and feet
these muddy rivers that could meet
you made a song
we could build with what is left
so we donʼt steal our childrenʼs breath to give them what you gave instead you made a song
from the fire these songs for all our children came from the fire to sing with us again
from the fire and on and on weʼll tell this tale
from the fire this ship is gonna sale
