"Salt Of The Earth" lyrics

"Salt Of The Earth"

Our fathers that built this land
Is now broken and second hand
Our mothers that shaped this land
Is heart broken by its dead hand

Don't let the colours blind you
Don't
Don't let the hatred find you

Cross the border
Welcome to your new home
Last in order
Welcome to being alone

There's a flag that I love for what it was
It was a flag that I proudly raised because
It gave you freedom - but you hate it
They wave it back but with hatred

Our fathers that built this land
Is now broken and second hand
Our mothers that shaped this land
Is heart broken by its dead hand

They stand there with open arms
And closed hearts

Don't want to see
Don't want to know
Let it be, let the fire grow
Don't want to see
Don't want to know
Let it be, let the fire grow

Let the fire grow

There's a flag that I love for what it was
It was a flag that I proudly raised because
It gave you freedom - but you hate it
They wave it back but with hatred

It gave you freedom - but you hate it

And just a glimpse of light
Can cloud that longing fright
Through and through that lasting blight
Through and through that lasting blight

Don't let the colours blind you
Don't let the hatred find you

And just a glimpse of light
Can cloud that longing fright
Through and through that lasting blight
Through and through that lasting blight
