lyrics

Can you hope to mend a heart
That was broken by a lie?
When the liar holds the power
To smite your allies hip and thigh?

When you cannot prove your innocence
Of what you never did
And the true face of your enemy
by Mammon's mask is hid?

Annie, can you hear the voices
Of the children in the street?
Can you hear their calls for Justice
And the marching of their feet?

They're marching for you
And the truth they knew
And the lives you changed.

And betrayal still continues
We've forgotten where we're from;
Take for granted what we've gained
From the likes of you and Tom

But while the bricks of Burston
Strike School stand still on the green
I'm reminded of your martyred heart
And what dedication means.

Annie, can you hear the voices
Of the children in the street?
Can you hear their calls for Justice
And the marching of their feet?

They're marching for you
And the truth they knew
And the lives you changed.
