Luka Bloom - Dignity and Backbone lyrics
There is no cavalry coming over Vinegar Hill These boots I stand in Are the only boots I must fill We have seen the way of greed And yes Ive done my share Can we pull together now? Or are we going nowhere? Being a sovereign people Is not determined by finance But how we are with each other How we work and we play How we sing and we dance... With dignity and backbone Dignity and backbone This world is achingly beautiful That my spirit is free Its not about where I come from As much as where I want to go I want to be the future Where Im planted I will grow Being a sovereign people... Im not waiting for a leader Ill try to be one myself Live a good strong life Every day that is left Keep an eye on my neighbour Always open my hand Reach out to each other Imagine a new land Being a sovereign people
