martyn joseph - nye (song for the nhs) كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
nine days before i was born you were gone
but what you left behind
great architect of health reform came forth
from your soft heart and tough mind
when nothing good comes easy
we fight for the dreams that we hold
when you finally got your bill through, though
you had to stuff their mouths with gold

[chorus]
and the purpose of power is to give it away
this is my truth, tell me yours
freedom won’t be freedom until poverty is gone
so nye, your dream’s alive and strong

[verse 2]
nurse tired and drained, it’s 2 a.m.
she summons up the strength again, she smiles
it’s not for the wage she does this job
it’s a greater call that cannot be defined
the surgery, the plaster tape
the arm around the aching and confused
and drugs to give a little one more time to play
they should never be refused
[chorus]
and the purpose of power is to give it away
this is my truth, tell me yours
freedom won’t be freedom until poverty is gone
so nye, your dream’s alive and strong

[verse 3]
the accident, the cancer cell
the final breath of sacrament at dawn
the beating heart, the broken to the cry
of the fragile being born
just nine days before i was born you were gone
ah, but what you left behind
your greatest hour remains with us, nye
we’re holding on with soft hearts and tough minds, listen

[bridge]
no society can call itself civilised
if the sick are denied through lack of means
and if you don’t believe me, just take a plane, my friend
go break your arm, see what it costs in new orleans

[chorus]
and the purpose of power is to give it away
this is my truth, tell me yours
freedom won’t be freedom until poverty is gone
so nye, your dream’s alive and strong
and the purpose of power is to give it away
this is my truth, tell me yours
freedom won’t be freedom until poverty is gone
so nye, your dream’s alive, alive and strong, yes it is

- martyn joseph
