Rise Up

Harold Creggan 1950 (Tadcastor)

Take your vote, Rise UP!
         against oppressors clear, Rise UP!
Protect your freedoms dear, Rise UP!
          Accept no foggy bottom lies. Rise UP!
March forth beneath blue sky, Rise UP!
           Go before more innocents `die, Rise UP!
With oppression so near Rise UP!
            Do not have fear, Rise UP!
Do your best to Resist, Rise UP!
             Let Your government know you're Pissed,
                                                                                    Rise UP!
On liberty insist, Rise UP!
             Gather in the streets, Rise UP!
To the sound of martial beats, Rise UP!
              Rise UP! my people, Rise UP!
