Jubilee - Live

Thank you
We should like, we should like to thank
And show solidarity with everyone in France
Who marched against the attack on Iraq by the Bush administration
We were one with the people of France and we remember
We who marched against the war are the true allies

Glad day to celebrate 'neath the cloudless sky
Air so sweet, water pure, fields ripe with rye
Come one, come all, gather round
Discard your Sunday shoes

Come on now, oh, my land
Be a jubilee
Come on girl, come on boy
Be a jubilee, yeah

My land, oh, my good people don't be shy
Weave the birth of harmony with children's happy cries
Hand in hand we're dancing down
In a freedom ring

Come on now, oh, my land
Be a jubilee
Come on girl, come on boy
Be a jubilee
We will never fade away, doves shall multiply
Yet I see hawks circling the sky
Scattering our glad day with debt and despair
What good hour will restore our troubled air?

Come on, people, gather 'round
You know what to do
Come on people, oh, my land
What be troubling, oh, my land?
What be troubling, what be troubling
What be troubling you?
We are love and the future
We stand in the midst of fury and weariness
Who dreams of joy and radiance
Who dreams of war and sacrifice
Our realms are being squeezed to face civil liberties
Recruit the dreams that sing to thee
Let freedom ring

Freedom ring
Freedom ring
Freedom ring
Oh, glad day
Hear our cry
Jubilee
Jubilee
Oh, my land
