The people have spoken, a new day is dawning
The people have spoken, a new day has come
With hearts nearly broken, a chorus is calling
The people have spoken, it’s time to move on
I hear the band marching, singing Lilly bullero
‘Bu linn an la’ says ‘the day will be ours’
In unison, bystanders join in the chorus
‘Our day will come’ singing ‘Tiochfaidh ar la’
Chorus
Whack fol the da
Tiochfaidh ar la
Agus Lilly bullero is bull in an la
Ah wack fol the da
I hear people say that if your day is coming
Some people fear that their day is done
But I say the sun shines on all or on no one
If darkness is over, a new day will come
The people have spoken, a new day is dawning
You take a short step on a road that is long
To live and let live on that journey together
The people have spoken, there’s work to be done
Chorus
So lay down your arms and your words of destruction
Your tanks and your guns, they have all had their say
The arms we were given the day we were born
Were to love and discover, to find a new way
And don’t sing the songs of the wrongs we have suffered
Till first we can hear of the wrongs we have done
And together we’ll write a new song for tomorrow
It’s then, only then, that our day will come.
Chorus
