S tand By Me

STAND BY ME

I dare you to stand by me

I dare you to do what is right

Our country needs Our help

Before the darkness of night

I dare you to think for yourself

I dare you to take a chance

Politicians stop thinking defeat

As this country was built on advance

I dare them to forget about party

I dare them to join together as one

Let’s take politics out of the way

Let’s correct what is morally wrong

I dare you to pray to your God

I dare you let others do the same

This world of ours grows smaller

If it disintegrates we can all share the blame

I dare you to talk out about “Terrorism”

I dare you to recognize this wrong

We will have no harmony in our world

Until “Terrorism” is gone

I dare you to stand by me

I dare you to do what is right

“MICHAEL COLLINS”

“ You know who did it
Don’t you boy”
As you lay there on the ground
“ Did the bullet pass through?
Did it lodge inside?”
“ Did it come from a single sound”

“It was you, they chose to negotiate,
to set our Country free”
“ Knowing quite well the improbable’s
That this might never be”

“You know who did it, don’t you boy”
as the sweat mounts on your brow”
“You settled for 26 out of 32
t’was the best you could do for now”

“ The Brits, they lied, they cheated
To them we’re a secondary race”
“ And gave back 26 Counties
Knowing the trouble you’d face”

“You know who did it , don’t You Boy
it will never pass your lips”
“Cause you cannot speak and you look so weak
but it wasn’t the Bloody Brits”

“You know who did it , Don’t You Boy
they will never make amends”
“BUT YOU KNOW WHO DID IT
DON’T YOU BOY”
“THEY WERE ONCE YOUR OLD, OLD FRIENDS”
