Evan Greer - The Good Fight lyrics

Well, I've written many songs About the things that have gone wrong The wars, and the k**ings, and the lies This world is full of hate and there is so much at stake We must fight for our rights and for our lives We've gotta raise a fist for our right to exist In a world where freedom is a lie (alive?) Strikes they will rage, black flags we'll wave The rich will have fear in their eyes But when the fight is done The revolution won We'll burn the final flag and walk on And if we close our eyes and hold each others' hands And if we sing boldly in the night We will watch the sun rise through the tears in our eyes Knowing that we fought the good fight Behind our black bandanas There's a love so strong it can't be stayed For every living thing in every song that we can sing Each garden and each house that we have made We know that in the end we can count upon our friends To have a love stronger than the state 'Cause the tear gas makes us cry, the bullets make us die But in the end, we will push beyond that gate -- Save the world and save the trees, set our comrades free Rejoice though the coming was so late And if we close our eyes and hold each others' hands And if we sing out boldly in the night We will watch the sun rise through the tears in our eyes Knowing that we fought the good fight I met an old man outside an ice-cream stand And in an old voice, he said to me "You are young and you are strong, and you will find where you belong -- But remember that no man is your enemy It's the borders and the nations and the giant corporations But not a single living being." So we struggle not for chaos, but for harmony And we would rather fight instead of die We struggle for the dawn, whose side are you on? You'll know when we raise our voices high And if we close our eyes and hold each others' hands And if we sing boldly in the night We will watch the sun rise through the tears in our eyes Knowing that we fought the good fight
