Look at this courageous young men Their lifeless bodies are lying in the streets Shot down by machine guns Their only weapon was the truth A peacefull fight they fought For freedom and liberty the marched A cry for liberty The world just can't ignore A cry for liberty Why do we ignore Again and again People aree opressed Violence is religion-injustice is the law Did we learn what they thought? A hopeless fight they fought Astonished we stood still They had to pay the bill They stood up for their rights They chose a peaceful fight Their words were just ignored Their hopes died by the sword
