"Sing A Powerful Song" lyrics

"Sing A Powerful Song"

When the troubles of the whole wide world
Come knockin' on your door
And there's problems of a different kind
That you've never had before
When you've played against a gale force wind
And it changes at half time
And you find your strength deserting you
And an emptiness inside

When there's people that will harm you
Though you've done to them no wrong
It time to sing, it's time to sing, to sing a powerful song

When they want to ruin our province
Just to turn it into gold
When they think our greatest asset
Can be mined, dug up, and sold
When the factories are all closin'
Like they are in our home town
And your friends are lookin' out for work
That's nowhere to be found

When the spirits, they need a risin'
To be happy, proud, and strong
It time to sing, it's time to sing, to sing a powerful song

When the spirits, they need a risin'
To be happy, proud, and strong
It time to sing, it's time to sing, to sing a powerful song
