Do you hear the people sing?

They cry out for your sacrifice

As you stand upon the barricades

Ready to give your life

So stand tall and stand up proud

Waving your flag high in the air

Telling everyone in the city

That yes, "I will be there"

Will you follow where he leads

Will you take your place with them?

Where the blood that is shed

Turns younger boys into men

But to never say die

Is the message that we'll try to send

Do you hear the people sing?

They cry out for your sacrifice

As you stand upon the barricades

Ready to give your life

So stand tall and stand up proud

Waving your flag high in the air

Telling everyone in the city

That yes, "I will be there"

Will you give all you can give

Even if that means your life

Do you believe in freedom for all

Leave your children leave your wife

Just for the chance

To end the injustice and strife?

Do you hear the people sing?

They cry out for your sacrifice

As you stand upon the barricades

Ready to give your life

So stand tall and stand up proud

Waving your flag high in the air

Telling everyone in the city

That yes, "I will be there"
