Our Star Will Be Worn

« back

Any worthwhile cause is about more than one person. Events around the 2011 Tommy Sheridan perjury trial and their effect on Scotland’s socialist left saddened me.

Chorus
With a sigh of the heart and a tear in the eye
Our star will be worn, our banners will fly
We’ll march on together, we’ll march strong and true
The cause we are fighting’s far greater than you
It’s far greater than you

You know that it hurt, it hurt to the core
The smears that you spread on the badge we all wore
Deceit and betrayal they’re hard to believe
From the man we all knew wore his heart on his sleeve
His heart on his sleeve

(Chorus)

It gives us no pleasure to see your disgrace
The lies that you spit writ all over your face
We remember the leader we followed with pride
Our heads proud & high as we marched at your side
We marched at your side

(Chorus)

Do you turn to your loved ones and open your heart
Do you hide from the truth, do you know where to start
Do you know how to tell a good friend from a foe
Do you look over shoulder wherever you go
Wherever you go

(Chorus)

Do you look to the future, pray tell what you see
Do you still dream of justice, a land of the free
Do you dream of a time when our struggle is done
One thing’s for sure, it’ll take more than one
It’ll take more than one

(Chorus)

Tell me how does it feel, do you sleep well at night
Do you struggle with demons, do the bed bugs bite
When you look in the mirror who is it you see
Do you still see the man with his heart on his sleeve
His heart on his sleeve

(Chorus)

Tell me how does it feel, do you sleep well at night
Do you struggle with demons, do the bed bugs bite
When you look in the mirror who is it you see
Do you still see the man with his heart on his sleeve
