Here are the words to the other song I sung - it's called `To be Free'

Chorus                                  We will run to the sea, to the sea

                                                We will fight what will be, history

                                                We will run to the sea to the sea

                                                We will fight to be free, to be free



Our people began as an Island race

Protected by the tides, kept us in our place,

Romans, Vikings, Angles too

All contributed to this island stew



Chorus                                  We will run to the sea, to the sea

                                                We will fight what will be, history

                                                We will run to the sea to the sea

                                                We will fight to be free, to be free



William came & conquered all

An arrow in the eye was Harold's fall

The Normans won, but didn't know when

They all ended up as British men



Chorus                                  We will run to the sea, to the sea

                                                We will fight what will be, history

                                                We will run to the sea to the sea

                                                We will fight to be free, to be free



The Pope & Rome ruled all afar

Lands & religions caused all the wars

Good old Henry drew the line

Then we left the Armada sinking in the brine



Chorus                                  We will run to the sea, to the sea

                                                We will fight what will be, history

                                                We will run to the sea to the sea

                                                We will fight to be free, to be free



Revolutions & civil wars

Napoleon threatening our southern shores

People power, democracy

The British Navy now rules the seas



Chorus                                  We will run to the sea, to the sea

                                                We will fight what will be, history

                                                We will run to the sea to the sea

                                                We will fight to be free, to be free



Victorian power set the world on fire

The sun never setting on her great Empire

Scientists, the Arts & Technology

We take to the air, to cross the seas



Chorus                                  We will run to the sea, to the sea

                                                We will fight what will be, history

                                                We will run to the sea to the sea

                                                We will fight to be free, to be free



Global wars marked the last Century

Our world has the scars from the fight, to be free

Gradually the world finds democracy

From our island place to humanity



Chorus                                  We will run to the sea, to the sea

                                                We will fight what will be, history

                                                We will run to the sea to the sea

                                                We will fight to be free, to be free
