Celebration Concert VE Day 1995

LYRICS

Go swiftly
The flags and drums can hypnotise
When glory has faded the dream
Is worth more than the prize
A twisting turning flame
And a freedom burning bright
Knows all of the names
And all of the games
Of the yellow, black and white
We've gotta have faith
To work it out
Faith and hope
Without any doubt
Give us strength to make a start
Put a song in our hearts ...
We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
'Cos you and I know what love is worth
We're gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We're gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time
Softly, softly
When there is lightning in the sky
When the rivers are rising and
Trouble rolls in on the tide
We'll keep on keeping on
'Til all the tears are dry
We'll weather the storm
Welcome the dawn
Of tomorrow you and I
We've gotta have faith
And get it fast
Faith and hope
And make it last
Give us strength
We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
'Cos you and I know what love is worth
We're gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We're gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time

We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
'Cos you and I know what love is worth
We're gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We're gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time
peace in our time
