<b><i>Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

<b><i>Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance?
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

<i><b>Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

<b><i>Here comes a man in uniform
What brings you to this place?

<b><i>From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they spoke with voices ringing
I can hear them now
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn

<b><i>And so it has been
And so it is written
On the doorways to paradise
That those who falter
And those who fall
Must pay the price!

<b><i>And little people know
When little people fight
We may look easy pickings
But we've got some bite!
So never kick a dog
Because he's just a pup
We'll fight like twenty armies
And we won't give up!
So you'd better run for cover
When the pup grows up!

<b><i>But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
