Lyrics

City buildings so grey and so dreary
Search all day to find some scraps and some bones
Work would be nice but they never will hire us
Day by day in the treaty zones

Head back uptown as the sun is declining
Everybody toss what you got in the pot
Light the fire, huddle close for winter is coming
Don't know what supper is but at least it's hot

We're gonna sing till the feet are tapping
Dance till the voices laughing
Love each other and then we're gonna love some more
Don't let the darkness kill you
Let the light and loving fill you
Remember all the things we're fighting for

Whisper the news, of somewhere far away
Where children can laugh and the soldiers are gone
Read us a book, the one that's my favorite
Tell us the stories that let hope hang on

We're gonna sing till the feet are tapping
Dance till the voices laughing
Love each other and then we're gonna love some more
Don't let the darkness kill you
Let the light and loving fill you
Remember all the things we're fighting for

Even they cannot enslave us forever
Even in the worst of dark, the promise of light
Under the occupation life going onward
Take my hand, we're going to dance tonight

We're gonna sing till the feet are tapping
Dance till the voices laughing
Love each other and then we're gonna love some more
Don't let the darkness kill you
Let the light and loving fill you
Remember all the things we're fighting for
