079 - Do You Hear The People Sing
Chorus Solo
(Solo) Do you hear the peo-ple sing?
Sing-ing the song of an-gry men?
It is the mu-sic of a peo-ple
Who will not be slaves a-gain!
(Solo continues, Tenors/Basses humming melody) When the bea-ting of your heart
Ech-oes the bea-ting of the drums
There is a life a-bout to start
When to-mor-row comes!
Verse 1
(Tenors/Basses sung) Will you join in our cru-sade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Be-yond the bar-ri-cade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
Chorus
(All) Do you hear the peo-ple sing?
Sing-ing the song of an-gry men?
It is the mu-sic of a peo-ple
Who will not be slaves a-gain!
When the bea-ting of your heart
Ech-oes the bea-ting of the drums,
There is a life a-bout to start
When to-mor-row comes!
Verse 2
Will you give all you can give
So that our ban-ner may ad-vance?
Some will fall, and some will live.
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the mar-tyrs
Will wa-ter the mea-dows of France!
Chorus
Do you hear the peo-ple sing?
Sing-ing the song of an-gry men?
It is the mu-sic of a peo-ple
Who will not be slaves a-gain!
When the bea-ting of your heart
Ech-oes the bea-ting of the drums,
There is a life a-bout to start
When to-mor-row comes.
