Written by Louis Barabbas
Recorded at WR Audio

lyrics

Before you disperse
While you still fear the worst
And wonder what's done
And what we've still to do
At moments like these
It's easy to think that we
Are the last of an old way
Not the first of a new

We've been through this before
We're all tired and sore
And those years, well sure
Each one left their mark
But the seeds have been sewn
And though I know
You cant get blood from a stone
You can get a spark

Don't you want to feel like you're a part of something
Don't you want to feel like you did once before
Don't you want to feel like this is the start of one thing
That'll lead to more

We need to show that we're done
With stooping for crumbs
Though I suppose everyone here
Is ready to rest
Well I don't know about you
But I think it's human nature to
Seek out the odds
To pit ourselves against

Because we've not finished trying
This is no day for crying
Some flags are still flying
And some are buried with the dead
I'd never suggest
You ain't already given this your best
But all we have left now
Is what lies ahead

Don't you want to feel like…

I don't believe what they say
About good old days
Empty fantasies
Of big societies
Be on your guard
Because times are hard
For everyone
(well almost)
Don't rely
On getting by
I'm damned if I
Will stand aside
And lose all hope

Maybe our chances are slim
But don't think now of giving in
Who says we can't win
Because I think we just might
So gather your things
Let your hopes all take wing
Because mouths that still sing
Are mouths that still bite

Don't you want to feel like…
