The Stars Look Down

For over 70 years
 Miners of Durham Countyhave come together once a year
 For their demonstration on Gala Day
 This was the first Durham rally since
 The pits were handed over to the people
 This year, one of the popular attractions was Mr Herbert Morrison
 Who spoke of the link of solidarity between miners and other workers
 I want you men of the pits to come through
 I want this great scheme of nationalization to succeed triumphantly
 The whole country is watching to see
 How this great new organization
 This new adventure
 This new experiment comes out
 The great experiment of socialism in a democracy depends on you
 The whole future we are trying to build up in our country
 Is for all our people and all our children
 And it depends on you
 Through the dark and through the hunger
 Through the night and through the fear
 Through the fight and years of hardship
 Through the storms and through the tears
 And although your feet are weary
 And although your soul is worn
 And although they'll try to break you
 And although you'll feel alone
 We will always stand together
 In the dark, right through the storm
 We will stand, shoulder to shoulder
 To keep us warm
 And the stars look down on the mean and hungry
 And the stars look down and show the way
 And the stars look down and we'll stand together
 To see a day
 When the stars look down and know our history
 When the stars look down upon our past
 And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
 When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun
 And though our hands are bruised and bleeding
 And our lungs are full with dust
 And our hearts are near to breaking
 We will never forgo the trust
 We will fight through pain and hunger
 Every arrow, every knife
 We will never give the hope up
 Of a proud and honest life
 So we will always stand together
 Through the frost, the hail, the snow
 The stars are our redemption
 And so we know
 We're out!
 The stars look down when we're abandoned
 Look down in the heart of night
 And the stars look down and give us vision
 To see the light
 The stars look down upon our struggle
 The stars look down and know the past
 The stars look down and see a future bright at last
 When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun
 All out together
 All out as one
 All out for victory
 'Til we've won
 All out together
 All out as one
 All out for victory
 All out 'til we've won
 Billy, do you know why they're on strike, like?
 It's to do with Maggie Thatcher, innit?
 Why, what's she done, like?
 Fucked if I know
 See you at boxin'?
 Yeah
 See you, Billy
 See you, Michael
 Take me up and hold me gently
 Raise me up and hold me high
 Through the nights under darkness
 Will come a day when we will fly
 And although we've been rejected
 And although we've been outcast
 We will find a new tomorrow
 When we come to rest at last
 And we will stand there proudly
 And we will never walk alone
 And we will be returned
 Back to our home
 And the stars look down at their reflection
 And the stars look down and there's a light
 When the stars look down they'll see the justice
 And the right
 And the stars look down and see the struggle
 And the stars look down and know the pain
 And the stars will lead us back to where light shines again
 Where we'll stand as one beneath the sun
 One beneath the sun
 When we stand as one
 All out together
 When we stand as one
 All out as one
 When we stand as one
 All out for victory
 When we stand as one
 'Til we've won
 When we stand as one
 All out together
 When we stand as one
 All out as one
 When we stand as one
 All out for victory
 When we stand as one
 'Til we've won
 When we stand as one
 All out together
 When we stand as one
 All out as one
 When we stand as one
 All out for victory
 All out 'til we've won
