[Verse]
It doesn't seem quite so long ago,
The last time that I saw you,
Ain't it funny how the memories grew,
Seems it always folds around you.

They tried to break you in a living hell,
But they couldn't find a way,
So they killed you in an H-Block cell,
And hoped that all would turn away.

They thought your spirit couldn't rise again,
But you dared to prove them wrong,
And in death you threw away the chains,
To let the world hear freedom's song.

[Chorus]
Yet the heartache and pain lingers on,
We're still here though it's ten years since you've gone,
But we're stronger now, you showed us how,
Freedom's fight can be won.

[Verse]
I wish there was an easy road to choose,
To bring this heartache to an end,
But easy roads are always sure to lose,
I've seen it time and time again.

If you could stand by me like yesterday,
I'd find the strength to carry on,
So let your spirit shine along the way,
And our day will surely come.

[Chorus]
Yet the heartache and pain lingers on,
We're still here though it's ten years since you've gone,
But we're stronger now, you showed us how,
Freedom's fight can be won if we all may stand as one.
