  Father, yes, I am a prisoner  Father, yes, I am a prisoner
  Fear not to relay my crime  Fear not to relay my crime
  The crime is loving the forsaken  The crime is loving the forsaken
  Only silence is shame  Only silence is shame
      
  And now I'll tell you what's against us  And now I'll tell you what's against us
  An art that's lived for centuries  An art that's lived for centuries
  Go through the years and you will find  Go through the years and you will find
  What's blackened all of history  What's blackened all of history

  Against us is the law  Against us is the law
  With its immensity of strength and power  With its immensity of strength and power
1  Against us is the law   Against us is the law! 1
  Police know how to make a man  Police know how to make a man
  A guilty or an innocent  A guilty or an innocent
2                                              Against us is the power of police! 2
2  Against us is the power of police   2
  The shameless lies that men have told  The shameless lies that men have told
  Will ever more be paid in gold  Will ever more be paid in gold
3  Against us is the power of the gold   Against us is the power of the gold! 3
  Against us is racial hatred  Against us is racial hatred
  And the simple fact that we are poor  And the simple fact that we are poor
      
  My father dear, I am a prisoner  My father dear, I am a prisoner
  Don't be ashamed to tell my crime  Don't be ashamed to tell my crime
  The crime of love and brotherhood  The crime of love and brotherhood
  And only silence is shame  And only silence is shame
      
4  With me I have my love, my innocence   With me I have my love, my innocence, 4
5  The workers and the poor   The workers, and the poor 5
  For all of this I'm safe and strong  For all of this I'm safe and strong
  And hope is mine  And hope is mine

  Rebellion, revolution don't need dollars  Rebellion, revolution don't need dollars
  They need this instead  They need this instead
  Imagination, suffering, light and love  Imagination, suffering, light and love
  And care for every human being  And care for every human being

  You never steal, you never kill  You never steal, you never kill
  You are a part of hope and life  You are a part of hope and life
  The revolution goes from man to man  The revolution goes from man to man
  And heart to heart  And heart to heart
  And I sense when I look at the stars  And I sense when I look at the stars
  That we are children of life, death is small   That we are children of life
4  Death is small4
