I Won'T Live In Fear

How did this happen What have we done? Our freedom our lives Sabotaged by this scum. This isn’t religion This isn’t a war, Don’t look for excuses Or help from the Law. How did this happen What had he done? An innocent man A father, a son. It could have been you It could have been me, We fought for this land And deserve to be free. Why did this happen I don’t understand The hatred, the madness The blood on his hands. The pain and the tears I cannot describe, Despair and the horror Are churning inside. And where did this happen It was out on the street The place where we walk, We meet and we greet. I won’t live in fear And I won’t hide away, With us for ever 22nd of May.
