Portrait -

The time has come to face each other

Sister, brother, mother, father

It’s time to stem the flow of blood

Lying frosted on these city walls

Burnt out cars in the parking lots

Are the tribal symbols of our streets

A young recruit still the age of innocence

Swears allegiance to his beliefs

So give us love and understanding

Give us hope that’s never ending

And to the faithful, now departed

May you rest in peace, may you never be forgotten

To the children of tomorrow

May the final act and triumph of our will

Be your walk to freedom

A missing face in the family portrait

A hoard of memories on the mantlepiece

Outside a patriotic speech

Falls upon the lips of angry men

So give us love and understanding

Give us hope that’s never ending

REPEAT CHORUS
