Out on the blue horizon, the clouds were rollin' in
The ground below was shaking, with the risin' wind
I looked over my shoulder, said goodbye to my home
After today there'd be no turning back
We were on our own
Everyone had taken sides, the battle lines were drawn
We stared into the face of war
And waited for the dawn
Everything that we worked for
They took from our hands
We were left with no choice
But to stand up and fight for this land

But don't worry darlin', this will all be over soon
Just remember you will always be my girl
And somehow you will find the strength
To stand up on your own
And live in this brave new world

How it all came down to this, no one can really say
Every time we cried out for help
They looked the other way
Now there's no turning back
We have got to be strong
We will travel the hard road to freedom
No matter how long

But don't worry darlin' this will all be over soon
Just remember you will always be my girl
These are the times we're born into
This is why we're here
To live in this brave new world
