VERSE 1
The drums were beating -(too many die, too many die)
With a passionate feeling -(too many die today)
And the swords were gleaming -(too many die, too many die)
With the battle screaming -(too many die today)

There were grown men crying -(too many die, too many die)
And the young men dying -(too many die today)
And the clans were fighting –(too many die, too many die)
With the colours flying –(too many die today)

CHORUS
She once prayed when her heart was afraid
Be braver today than tomorrow
When the wars been won won’t you come home to your son
Don’t leave us to mourn here in sorrow

VERSE 2
With a cry of freedom –(too many die, too many die)
Would you die to beat them –(too many die today)
Will their children need them –(too many die, too many die)
Will they ever see them –(too many die today)

CHORUS
She once prayed when her heart was afraid
Be braver today than tomorrow
When the wars been won won’t you come home to your son
Don’t leave us to mourn here in sorrow.
