Deep Inside lyrics

DEEP INSIDE


Once he stood upon a hill
And looked down on our land
The green fields and the rivers
And the sea and yellow sands

But now they've locked him in a cell
And took away the key
They can jail our nation's patriots
But their spirits still roam free

When he stood upon that hill
He looked up to the sky
He saw the storm clouds gathering
And the heavens full of fire

The struggle for our nation
The people picked their sides
And a fire burned deep inside his heart
The fire of Whitemans' pride

(chorus)
And I said
Deep Inside
Deep Inside
Deep Inside
Is Nation's Pride

The battle was now on him
And he fought with all his strength
Odds were piled against him
And numbers one to ten

Invaders swarmed all over
But his banner still held high
That one flag to him was dear
For it he'd rather die

Enemy was numerous
And his strength was nearly gone
They see the dead lay round the street
But he had to carry on

But very soon the time took its toll
And he was bound and chained
And from the heaven like tears of rage
Down came a pouring rain

(chrous)

They threw him in a dungeon
And they boasted of the fight
The moment they had power
But he was in the right

They took away his liberty
And they tried to crush his pride
But whilst he had his Nation's flag
His hope would never die
