DAD I couldn't take it anymore son It was tearing me apart We're lost, we're finished man, we're through I need to give the kid a future I need to look him in the eye Believe me son I'd do the same for you
TONY But you can't give in now Dad We've all been out a year I'll never be able to talk to you again You'll make us all a scab Dad You'll humiliate us all Don't do this to me Dad or to him.
DAD He could be a star for all we know We don't know how far he could go And no one else can give what I can give, And no one else can give what I can give He could go and he could shine Not just stay here counting time, Son we've got the chance to let him live, Yes, we've got the chance to let him live
TONY This isn't about us Dad It's not about the kid It's all of us, ifs everybody's chance It's everybody's future It's everybody's past It's not about a bairn who wants to dance
It's about our history It's about our rights Think about the sacrifice we've made It's what you always taught us Since I was a lad Please, Dad, don't let that passion fade
MINERS We're all in this together Dad There is another way All for one. And one for all Take this and this. And this and this And this and this And this and this. Don't worry, lad, we'll never Let you fall.
DAD He could be a star for all we know We don't know how far he can go
TONY But we'll give all we can give We'll all give all that we can give
MINERS We will go and we will shine We will go and seize the time We will all have pride in how We live Yes we'll all have pride in How we live We will always stand together Yes we'll all have pride in Through the dark and through How we live And through the storm We will stand shoulder to shoulder Yes we'll all have pride in How we live To keep us warm
