lyrics

My son, he thinks his father is a hero. Coming back every night, he can see me through the window. He asks his mother everyday "why are we so poor when dad is working so hard [...] Why is he so sad when I tell him I want to follow his path, I want to be like him?" But he doesn't know the miner who works hard for his bread tries to pile some money to buy him another way, out of the mines, out of this life. Learning from books, not from the pain of the hard way. I love him so much, I don't want him to live in these dying days. Is it so hard to understand? This town, this faith that there are better days coming out of all the prayers we are forced fed. They say it's just a matter of time. People were praying for hope and change... but I knew there was no god in these mines. All this suffering won't be in vain. We will rise and take what's ours. We are not scared and we have all to gain. We have nothing to sacrifice neither to lose. The rage is building up.
