The Day They Set Jim Larkin Free

I see what is, I see the way things should be
 They made a mistake sending me to jail
 Made a worse one setting me free
 I see what is, I see the way things should be
 Those scabs will regret the day
 They set Jim Larkin free.
 The sun is blazing, morning's here
 But no light in our eyes
 Nothing but fear and apprehension
 And their lies
 Then down the lane, the big man strides
 A force of nature unleashed
 And all our doubts dissipate before him
 As we follow his lead
 I see what is, I see the way things should be
 They made a mistake sending me to jail
 Made a worse one setting me free
 Look up at the stars, throw the light into dark places
 You can't see the heavens above
 When you're down there on your knees
 Go on nail me for treason - arrest me for conspiracy
 But I know it's no crime to desire
 That my people should be free
 'cause I see what is, I see the way things should be
 Those scabs will regret the day
 They set Jim Larkin free.
 The stars are bleeding, night has come
 The city sleeps in tears
 Nothing to cling to but each other
 Tomorrow, the same fears
 The sound of voices in the distance
 Messiah is close at hand
 Rise up, rise up, my poor afflicted
 You too can taste the promised land
 I see what is, I see the way things should be
 They made a mistake sending me to jail
 Made a worse one setting me free
 Look up at the stars, throw the light into dark places
 You can't see the heavens above
 When you're down there on your knees
 Go on nail me for treason - arrest me for conspiracy
 But I know it's no crime to desire
 That my people should be free
 'cause I see what is, I see the way things should be
 Those scabs will regret the day
 They set Jim Larkin free
