dave burns - hearts on fire lyrics
all around the world are young men
having songs of freedom sung them
and every dog of war will have his day
and the pride of all the nation
standing at the station
smiling as they wave their lives away
with hearts on fire
hearts on fire
hearts on fire
burning bright
in the land of davy crockett
they built the sleeve a rocket
that they say will bring a new age
some day soon
while in africa they’re crying
for the wantiful, they’re dying
whilst others walk around upon the moon
with hearts on fire
hearts on fire
hearts on fire
burning bright
in a blind, deserted alley
in the broken rhondda valley
a man was sadly certain for his soul
and his eyes are unforgiving
when they took away his living
his pride was buried deep
beneath the coal
with hearts on fire
hearts on fire
hearts on fire
burning bright
as the belfast evening thunder
the lord looks down and wonders
“will my children ever live as one?”
from the church, he hears them calling
as his bitter tears are falling
“for this,” he said
“i gave my only son”
with hearts on fire
hearts on fire
hearts on fire
burning bright
with hearts on fire
hearts on fire
hearts on fire
burning bright
