Dusty The Kid - Raise the Banner

Raise me a banner of the deepest black
And let me see it wave
Every city street and every railroad track
For the Days of Love and Rage
Raise me a banner of the people's red
Every farm and every town
For the workers lost, for the blood we bled
And never let it down
It's the same road we've all travelled
From the cradle to the grave
Let me hear the rumble and the rattle
Let the day be today
Let the murmurs run through the marketplace
To the migrant far from home
To the the young girl washing clothes
To the old man breaking stones
You never are alone
It's the same road we've all travelled
From the cradle to the grave
Let me hear the rumble and the rattle
Let the day be today
For the mothers and the daughters who've been shackled from birth
To the working class kids never told of their worth
To the innocent shot dead in the middle of the street
To the voice under the hand that's just been trying to speak
There are other ways to go
There are other roads to take
We don't have to keep on dying for the rich man's mistakes
Reach your hands out to your sisters
To your brothers and your friends
Throw some fuel upon this fire or this night will never end
It's the same road we've all travelled
From the cradle to the grave
Let me hear the rumble and the rattle
Let the day be today
Let the day be today
