about

“ I have sung with the Sydney Trade Union Choir, Solidarity Choir, and performed at the New Theatre Newtown where I was involved in the revival of Reedy River in 2002. Basically I just love singing! This song was given by a friend but came from a UK production of the story of the Tolpuddle Martyrs. - Hazel Waters

lyrics

Keep the spirit, keep the way
Brother, sister take a hand
Unity will win the day

Raise your banners high!
Strength to strength and line by line
Unity must never die!
Raise your banners high!

Those who live in face of strife
Those who fight for liberty
Fight to win a better life
Fight to keep the future free!

‘Though the struggle brings us pain
‘Though the struggle gives us tears
Ours will be the final gain
We shall raise the victor’s cheers!
