Christy Moore - Unfinished Revolution lyrics
[Christy Moore - Unfinished Revolution lyrics]
From the health centre porch she
Looks to the North
Where Nicaragua's enemies hide
Polio crippled and maimed before
Things were changed
Slowly they're turning the tide
In the twilight she stands
With a rifle in hand
And a memory of what used to be
Now she's part of the unfinished revolution
Feudal landlords they've known
Seen overthrown afghanistan comes into view
Learning to read and to write
Is part of the fight
But for her it's something that's new
Down all of the years ashamed of her tears
Imprisoned behind a black veil
Now she's part of the unfinished revolution
Soldiers kicked down the door
Called her a whore
While he lingered in Castlereagh
Internment tore them apart
Brought her to the heart
Of resistance in Belfast today
Her struggle is long, it's hard to be strong
She's determined deep down inside
To be part of the unfinished revolution
She holds the key to
The unfinished revolution
Looks to the North
Where Nicaragua's enemies hide
Polio crippled and maimed before
Things were changed
Slowly they're turning the tide
In the twilight she stands
With a rifle in hand
And a memory of what used to be
Now she's part of the unfinished revolution
Feudal landlords they've known
Seen overthrown afghanistan comes into view
Learning to read and to write
Is part of the fight
But for her it's something that's new
Down all of the years ashamed of her tears
Imprisoned behind a black veil
Now she's part of the unfinished revolution
Soldiers kicked down the door
Called her a whore
While he lingered in Castlereagh
Internment tore them apart
Brought her to the heart
Of resistance in Belfast today
Her struggle is long, it's hard to be strong
She's determined deep down inside
To be part of the unfinished revolution
She holds the key to
The unfinished revolution
