If we try too hard forgive us If we try too hard If we think too much control us If we think too much Take a bow in front of us now Take a bow in spite of us now If we want too much ignore us If we want too much Can we give some back in offers? Can we give some back? Take a bow in front of us now Take a bow in spite of us now And lo, our voice became one And the tide did turn And there were voices overhead What's done is done And we forgot compassion For we had won And choice for all is ours alone What's won is won We have time enough to take you We have time enough And when we succeed we'll break you And we will succeed Take a bow in front of us now Take a long last look at us now And victor's justice is ours And you'll have none All life is ours to justify We won, we won And it's our right to own you And you'll succumb And freedom's ours forevermore Your lives are done
