lyrics

I was there when the rivers all ran dry and I was there when the stars fell from the sky and so we prayed to all of our heads of state to put in place something to save us all.
We were there when the far right began to rise and from their ashes, dared to capitalise on peoples fears, economic downturn, insecurities, what have we learnt.
The air was heavy then, that night.
We found it hard to breath, but we carried on just the same as before.
We were there when the extremists screamed for change and we were there when they made horrific claims, we were there when they looked for someone else to blame, we were there, we just hung our heads in shame.
The air was heavy then, that night.
We found it hard to breath, that night.
The air was heavy then, that night.
We found it hard to breath, that night.
but we carried on just the same as before.
We were there when they came for the refugees and we were there when they came for the sick and elderly, we were there but we chose not to see, we were there when they came for you and me.
And then they came for us.
There was no one left to speak out for us.
And then they came for us.
And there was no one left to speak out for us.
