Human rights for you and me
 Palestinian children living free
 People free without a tear
 Children playing without fear
 Irish children white, orange and green
 A united Ireland without the queen
 A new Ireland for me and you
 Living in peace with thirty-two
 No death squads in our country
 Make killing is a memory of our past
 First nation people have their land
 No dividing line in the sand
 Mount Rushmore Mountain Time for change
 Those faces on the rock
 Free the people you and me
 First Nations people must be free
 Africa, Madiba’s dream
 Eyes blind to bigotry
 He showed the world the way
 Let the people have their say 
 Black Americans locked in jail
 The justice system did surely fail
 Homeless people, you know what I mean
 Give them a home, the American dream
 Feed the people, ban the bomb
 The politicians got it wrong
 Make our world a better place
 Save our children and the human race
 Human rights for you and me
 Palestinian children living free
