The lamp that lights the way
Is a light from yesterday
The drum which leads the way
Is a sound from yesterday The road is filled with shadows
Of a million living leaves
With darkness all around us
And not a friend in sight We sang a song together
To help us through the night
The song was sung with spirit
But soft, and like a choir And as the others sang along
Our voices lifted higher We sang until we reached the bridge
We crossed, then saw the wire
But by the time we stopped the song
The enemy opened fire Now we aint gonna sing that song no more
Aint gonna sing that song no more
Just dont pay to sing no more
Specially when your in a war, a war Now this time through, we want everybody to listen to the punch line,
Alright, Alright. Alright? Alright! The song was sung with spirit
But soft and like a choir
But by the time we stopped the song
The enemy opened fire Now we aint gonna sing that song no more
Aint gonna sing that song no more
Just dont pay to sing no more
Specially when your in a war, war
