two gold coins & a prayer (Demo Version)

(专辑： SFF_Demos - 2021)

It started with a holiday to Italy
Just Rose and the kids
So, for sure they knew they wouldn't leave
Got to Vienna and they stayed for 8 months
An old lady and a caravan
They had a plan but never wrote it down
Steve made his way to Yugoslavia
And there he met a Turkish man in a coffee shop
Traded passport photos
The train conductor didn't buy it though
Still he let him go
Hm

Up in the attic lives a family
Outside there in the window
Today there still stands an old willow tree
Albert was a dentist trying to do right over wrong
Two gold coins and a prayer
An American man almost became his son
See Holland was under Nazi rule
And they killed him for what he did
Braver than most of us would do
But his son came home
His father wasn't there no more
So, he left for a distant shore
Hm

Rose came to Sydney to pray to God
Because in Slovakia and Hungary
Under communism that wasn't aloud
Steve came for a better life
Jerry and Pauline did to
To the sunburnt land
Where all of this they were free to do
Equal opportunity is a wonderful thing
But promise equal outcome
It only ever leads to tyranny
So here I write songs for freedom so we can all belong
7 billion people 7 billion gods

I won't give up
There is too much on the line
I won't give up
I ask you to free your mind
I won't give up
I believe in you, and
You believe in me, and
We believe in society

I won't give up
I promised my sister it'd be fine
I won't give up
Each of us free our minds
I won't give up
I believe in you, and
You believe in me
I believe in humanity
So, I won't give up
