Rolling Home, when we go rolling home
When we go rolling, rolling, when we go rolling home
Round goes the wheel of fortune, no justice in its ride
But there’s a land of milk and honey waits on the other side
There’ll be peace and there’ll be plenty, for those without a throne,
When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home
The bombs and bullets flying high pierce more than noble hearts,
Each child lost to conquest, rips humankind apart
If blind to blood and horror, we’ll reap what we have sown,
When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home
Each one of us a duty, to neighbours cross the sea,
Each soul cries for salvation, till all of us are free,
Stand up and stand together, so no-one stands alone,
When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home
Pin your courage to the post and take your place in history,
Here’s a health to bold resistance, wherever it may be
The fire in your blood will transcend the flesh and bone,
When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home
