lyrics

I've been driving around for a long long time but I never know where to
Await the call and I do the thing but I never know who to
And now I'm back up on the hill with my hand upon my gun
But I am feeling sick and ill cos I know what must be done

I never tried to take them down, though I sometimes thought I should
I never trusted you to try, though I always thought you could
And now we're standing on their hill with our hands upon our guns
Imagining some good good will from the ones who are underground

Up here, looking down there and they tell me they are right
I go, I go down there, I just do what might be right

But now it's time for us to go, now it's time for them to know
Now it's time for us to show the courage of our convictions

I never tried to take them down, though I always knew I could
I should have trusted you to try, cos I always knew you could
So here we stand up on their hill with the means within our hands
No longer feeling sick or ill cos at last we understand

Up here, looking down there and you know we might be right
Let's go, let's go down there, let's just do what might be right

Up here, looking down there and we know we are in the right
Let's go, let's go down there, let's just do what must be right

Now it's time for us to go, now it's time for them to know
Now it's time for us to show the courage of our convictions
