doing [Am]brand new work same spirit by side
Joining [C]hearts and hands and ancestral twine,

Joining [C]hearts and hands and ancestral twine,

[Verse 2]
[F]on, soldier on my good [Am]countrymen
Keep fighting for your [C]culture now
Keep fighting for your [G]land
I know it's been thousands of [F]years
And I feel your hurt
And I know it's [Am]wrong
and you feel you've been chained
And broken and burned
[C]And those beautiful old people
Those wise old [G]souls
Have been ground down for far too long
By that [F]spineless man
That greedy man
That [Am]heartless man
Deceiving man, that [C]government hand
Taking blood and land, taking [G]blood and land
And still they can
But your [F]dreaming
and your warrior spirit lives [Am]on
And it is so so so [C]strong
In the earth, in the trees, in the rocks
In the [G]water, in your blood
and in the air we breathe
Soldier [F]on, soldier on my good [Am]countrymen
Keep fighting for your [C]children now
Keep fighting for your [G]land
