Let Englishmen Awake
Let Englishmen Awake
by Robert (Bob) Moore © 2016
St George’s day is coming
let Englishmen awake
the denigration of our name
is more than we will take
but we will rise above it
the Red Cross on the white
and once again we’ll show the world
the English still can fight
Though part of the United Kingdom
we are a people of our own
and through the march of time
our history has grown
With Scotland, Wales and Ireland
we’ve stood throughout the years
through war and through disaster
the heartache and the tears
Saints George, Andrew and David
Saints Patrick and Piran too
have been with us throughout the years
and we’ve helped each other through
But now there are some people,
try to stop our flag flying high
but they are wasting their own time
they may as well not try
So, the 23rd of April, on this Saint Georges Day
let flags fly high, and to God and St. George we’ll pray
raise your voices one and all, and give a mighty cheer,
and we will let the whole world know,
the English are still here
