St. George's Day

St. George's Day Lyrics

Just a man in a no-win situation
Come a long, long way to kiss the shore
So far from a beaten, broken nation
Running from the war
He wanted to work here and raise a family
Just live a good life and be free
But sometimes it don't turn out like you want
As far as I can see

He don't wanna steal anybody's job or happiness
He only wants to find a home and belong like all the rest

'Cause I know it's a long time away
Until that flag flies in the sun, and it flies for everyone
In the name of love, we all better pray
For Saint George's Day

Is our sense of who we are so vulnerable
That we can't embrace just a little change?
What have we become if we can't all celebrate
Without the rage?

If you look back far enough, we're all from another place
Draw a line in the sand, cut off your nose to spite your face

And if you can't see any further than your hate
In a changing world, it's true, one day it might be you
You'd better wise up before it's too late
For Saint George's Day

Gotta show a little love

'Cause I know it's a long time away
Until that flag flies in the sun, and it flies for everyone
In the name of love, we all better pray
Better pray

In a changing world, it's true, someday it might be you
Wise up before it's too late
For Saint George's Day

Got a long, long time to wait
