Give It A Light (Bernie Catterall/Chris Kemp)
- Look - at today
Take the warning
Give them the light in our eyes
See their plight
Hear them calling
Give them the light in our smiles
Help them work – give them pride
The means to survive
No-one need die.
Give it a light x 2
- Trade fills a gap
But it’s yawning
Fight for the justice in sight
Let them share
In our laughter
Give them the means for the fight
Raise their sights – light up their night
The people, you see,
Have a right to be free
Give it a light x 3
- Fairer trade
In the market
Waiting its chance to arrive
Make the deal – heed your conscience
Share in the time of their lives.
Give it a light x 2
(Instrumental)
Give it a light x 3
- Don’t
Patronise
Or despise them
Give them the chance to survive.
All their rights
Drive our survival
Make the world’s light come alive
Give it a light x 2
