Herald
Please don’t fear
I will speak to their hearts and they’ll hear
Just men like me and you
How can we know what they’re going through?
Please don’t doubt
It’s our chance to say what we’re about
Explain how democracy
Makes us all brothers
Helping each other
They will see
Clare
These men are ruthless
Their minds will not hear you
They’re much too afraid of their boss
Herald Please don’t fear
No-one will listen
You won’t get a chance to speak
Oh! What can we do? We’re lost!
You must defend yourselves
Take an axe or a knobkerrie
You won’t stand a chance with them
Don’t throw your lives away
I’m so afraid for all of you!
Kindness
You are so brave and Herald Please don’t fear
You are so fair but
I am so afraid for you
Always believing
People are honest and true
But I know that this is something you must do
Reggie
They have been taught to hate
They have been drilled to hate
In the indoctrination camps they have been forced to hate
They dare not disobey. The weak are practiced on
It’s either us or them and they’ve already planned our fate
Herald Please don’t fear
Kindness & Clare We are so afraid for you
Herald I will speak to their hearts and they’ll hear
Clare These men are ruthless
They’re much too afraid to hear
Kindness Herald! I am so afraid for you
Reggie They have been taught to hate
It’s either us or them
and they have planned our fate
Herald Just men like me and you
Reggie They have been drilled to hate
Kindness & Clare We are so afraid for you
Chorus Stand by him
Stay with him
Keep trying
Keep believing
Clare No-one will listen
You won’t get a chance to speak
Oh! What can we do? We’re lost!
Chorus All together we will be strong
Come with us
Herald They will see
That we should be
Like brothers
Helping each other
Kindness I know that this is something you must do
Chorus Come!
Herald Yes!
Chorus & Herald We will!
