Fifty Four - The Go Set

It’s a tale of the Fifty Four, a tale of a time gone by

Of a Merchant’s declaration, and the blood red run setting in the sky

It’s the tale of a people’s war, of how things came to be

The dividing of a nation, of a new frontier and history

The years serve to tell us that we lost and won a fight

But all men are made equal — and they all need equal rights

For those who fight the power, for those who stand up tall

For those who fight for the given rights and the freedom of us all

It’s the spirit of the fifty four, the spirit of a time for change

The echo of the gun, and the price of a lift remains

The spirit of the fellow man, of trust and hope and faith

When the darkest hour is just before the dawning of the day
