Vanguards of the Revolutions: Part 1

Feet stamping.
Rhythmic stamping,
Upon the gravel, the sand,
The muddy earth.

With words written on posters,
Placards being raised high:
Freedom Now! New Government! No More Corruption!
Better Pay, Unionize Now!

While a group of youngsters create a song
With claps and stomps;
Live Laugh Love Hey!
Peace is all we’re thinking of!

Again!

Live Laugh Love Hey!
Peace is all we’re thinking of!
Justice is what we’re fighting for!
Justice is what we’re fighting for.
