VERSE 1
Grev ha gloes,
Beaten down
Ganz kolonn boes,
And hard at heart
Gwerez dhe'n re heb gwerez,
They’re helpless to the healing
Gwelez yn-honz dhe'n wen
They see past the smiles
Dhe synzi y'n golonn dhown.
To hold whos within
VERSE 2
A'n lesk byz dhe'n bedh,
From cradle to grave,
Pub polz byz eneworrez,
First scream to last whisper
Ganz pub nell i a gur,
Patch us they pitch in
Gwann krevva ez dur,
Weakest held strong
A-dryv an groglenn las,
Behind a curtain of blue
Dha synzi yn unn byrl bras
Holds you a crew
CHORUS
Piw a with an re a with?
Who cares for the caregivers
Piw a vag an re a vag?
Who nurses the nurtures
Fatell guryn ni an greyth
How can we treat the wounds
Dhe'n re a wodhev trogh?
Of those being cut
VERSE 3
Ezon ni ow skoedhya'n re
Are we lifting those up
Re skoehyas an re erell?
Who are heling the others
Bras aga holonn
Heros are hidden
Dre'ga hwel y'gan mysk,
Operate among us
Ker i a'gan azwonn
Know us within
Yn downder kolonn
Love in between
VERSE 4
Mez tros padell wag
Does banging the pan
Heb solzow yw lag.
Put cash in the can
Holyn aga lergh
If you walked in their shoes
Mil vildir yn sergh,
A thousand miles
Azwonn yn-ter
You’d never doubt
An mayni ker.
Those walking out
Outro
Grev ha gloes,
Ganz kolonn boes,
Gwerez dhe'n re heb gwerez,
Gwelez yn-honz dhe'n wen
Dhe synzi y'n golonn dhown

VERSE1
Nins you oll a drove, Ethen gyltra ha an glori
Its not all about the glitter and the glory
Ima drolla the bub tre avor the berthi
Every seaside town, has its own story
Mar crater hethi rag mires oll a dro
If you take some time to listen
Ra goslowes orth an tros esel
To the sound
(RIFF)
A dus-o kool aga bewnans, ha delinear
Of people making lives
Aga istari in towes kammas
Drawing their line in the sand
CHORUS 1
Kemmer termyn, rag gweles an pyth a yllydh kavos
Please take some time, to see what it is you might find
Pan hedhydh ow kul arghans dyworth kovyow pobel an tir ma
When you stop monetising memories of people from this land
Yth on ni marthys moy ‘ges karten bost po saw skeusen war an fos
We are so much more than just a postcard, or a picture on the wall
Na saw tir gwari rag an dus rych hag a vri ow lenwel an barr
Not just a playground for the rich and famous, filling up the bars
VERSE 2
Yma reson nyns eson omma saw rag an seson
There’s a reason we’re not just hear for the summer season

How is it fair, that you return home sunkissed, sea salted skin and hair
Agas kenkidh ow kregi dres an re heb tre le vyth
Your second homes, hanging over those whose home is nowhere

VERSE 1
The futures been forgotten
This place is for the taking
You keep on talking
Stories you’re re-making
Don’t leave us behind
The ones running the show
VERSE 2
You’re reliant on the quiet
The thought that we don’t think
But what if it was time
To turn the tables round
The place where we meet
Take a seat, the lost and the found
CHORUS 1
If we stop they can’t start
We run the show and they know
If we don’t stop
We won’t know
How far it is they will go
VERSE 3
Your pockets getting lined
The waltzing mighty fined
Instead of feeding children
Your feeding us all lies
Looking down on us all
Taking us for the stupid, the blind
VERSE 4
Forever on the taking
Disaster in the making
Losing the lives
Of those same in kind
Freezing out the help
For the ones paying the cost
CHORUS 2
If we stop they can’t start
We run the show and they know
If we don’t stop
We won’t know
How far it is they will go
