lyrics

CARRY THE TORCH
(Words & Music - Mike Ogletree)

Who’s gonna carry the torch
When the going gets tough
Are you gonna get up
Get up and stand tall
Oh carry the torch
Will ye carry a torch?
Aye aye och aye aye

I hear a call for freedeom
I hear a call for peace
I hear a call for equality
According to our needs
And all across this country
O’ the brave and free
Will ye choose to follow?
Or will ye lead?

Who’s gonna carry the torch
When the going gets tough
Are you gonna get up
Get up and stand tall
Oh carry the torch
Will ye carry a torch?
Aye aye och aye aye

And when they call to occupy
And we defy the ban
Down presser hold yer fire
We’re yer brother man.
And all across the country
From sea to shining sea
You can choose to follow
Or you can lead.

Who’s gonna carry the torch
When the going gets tough
Are you gonna get up
Get up and stand tall
Oh carry the torch
Will ye carry a torch?
Aye aye och aye aye
