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
