Let My People Be - The Tom Robinson Band

作曲：Tom Robinson Band

After the thunder

Jets from the junta

Over the countryside

See my amigo

He got the fever

Shelter him here tonight

On the estates

And in the plantations

Settlements far and wide

Convoy arriving

Son disappearing

Children afraid to cry

Let my people be

Thirty years of empty declarations

Set my people free

Hounded down in towns across the nation

How long will it take

How long do we wait

How long will it take

How long do we wait

High wind arising

Out on the pampas

Villages lying awake

Pretty pepito

Why are you weeping

Friends are not far away

Rumour this evening

Government gunboat

Sunk on the river today

In the sierras

Something is stirring

Liberty blowing our way

Let my people be

Thirty years of empty declarations

Set my people free

Hounded down in towns across the nation

How long will it take

How long do we wait

How long will it take

How long do we wait

Let my people be

Thirty years of empty declarations

Set my people free

Hounded down in towns across the nation

How long will it take

How long do we wait

How long will it take

How long do we wait

How long will it take

How long will it take

How long do we wait
