Salt Of The Earth

Our fathers that built this land
Is now broken and second hand
Our mothers that shaped this land
Is heart broken by its dead hand
Don't let the colours blind you
Don't
Don't let the hatred find you

Cross the border
Welcome to your new home
Last in order
Welcome to being alone
There's a flag that I love for what it was
It was a flag that I proudly raised because
It gave you freedom - but you hate it

They wave it back but with hatred
Our fathers that built this land
Is now broken and second hand
Our mothers that shaped this land
Is heart broken by its dead hand
They stand there with open arms

And closed hearts
Don't want to see
Don't want to know
Let it be, let the fire grow
Don't want to see
Don't want to know
Let it be, let the fire grow
Let the fire grow

There's a flag that I love for what it was
It was a flag that I proudly raised because
It gave you freedom - but you hate it
They wave it back but with hatred
It gave you freedom - but you hate it
And just a glimpse of light
Can cloud that longing fright

Through and through that lasting blight
Through and through that lasting blight
Don't let the colours blind you
Don't let the hatred find you
And just a glimpse of light
Can cloud that longing fright
Through and through that lasting blight
Through and through that lasting blight
