about

This uplifting anthem has been very popular on facebook with this one shot video filmed in Raumati South using lots of locals. Here's the YouTube version www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXeNXu2UUVw

lyrics

Revolution can come quietly sometimes, creeping up on you from behind
You don’t have to be waving a flag to make a difference to your life

We gotta help ourselves (we gotta help ourselves)
We gotta heal ourselves (we gotta heal ourselves)
We gonna save the world (we’re gonna save the world)
We gotta choose ourselves (we gotta choose ourselves)
There’s nothing left to lose
We gotta help ourselves (we gotta help ourselves)

Standing still in the surge of a crowd is not an easy thing to do
Holding firm onto what you believe until the tide turns with you
