When Will We All Be Free - Karan Casey

Some people live the high life

They live like Kings and Queens

They go about all dressed up

Well encased in their dreams

Most of us go from day to day

With the feeling we have no clout

The gods they say it’s better that way

To keep us going from hand to mouth

Life is for living

And living is for loving

Loving is for giving

If we can be free

|: When will we all be free :|

Our politicians run to the altar of gold

To line their pockets with greed

Turning a blind eye to all around

Especially the ones in need

McDowell’s welcome is naught

He builds barriers along our shores

At night he stops buses and takes people off

If they don’t look anything like ours

We’ve only dreamed of what we can do

We’ve hardly seen the colour of angels

When will we open our hearts to sing

Let the stars fall out and lets begin
