One by one 
Oh, and there they stood lost in the haze 
With spirits blazing like the sun 
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons 
They held the light 
Yes they did 
And it shined all night 
Oh, all night 
And they took the blows 
Yes they did 
Never letting go 

Oh no, oh no 

Oh no 

And so they came with perfect schemes 

And precious dreams that made them one 

One by one 

Oh, look up and see the eagles fly 

And fill the sky beneath the sun 

Mothers and daughters,

Fathers and sons 

You hold the light 

Yes you do 

And you've got the right 

Oh, got the right 

And you'll feel the blows 

Yes you will 

Don't you dare let go 

Oh no, oh no 

Said that we have the right 

Yes we do 

It's down in black and white 

Oh oh, oh oh 

And we made it so 

Yes we did 

And we won't let go 

Oh no, oh no
