about

Hand In Hand is a composition by Chris Fisher, written after attending a dawn vigil at the Bentley blockade against coal seam gas in late March 2014. Through April and May this song was performed many times at Bentley and became a part of the growing repertoire of resistance manifesting at the blockade. During this time this song was also recorded at Bush Rock Studios, Goonellabah, with many Camp Liberty musicians and singers contributing to the production. It is one of the tracks on the 'Songs of the Bentley Blockade' compilation cd.

lyrics

CAN YOU HEAR US, WE SING AS ONE
FOR THIS COUNTRY, WE’RE WALKING ON
WE STAND TOGETHER, TO PROTECT THIS LAND
FOR THE FUTURE, WE’RE HAND IN HAND

CAN YOU SEE US, WE’RE STANDING TALL
FOR THE CHILDREN, YET TO BE BORN
WE STAND TOGETHER, TO PROTECT THIS LAND
FOR THE FUTURE, WE’RE HAND IN HAND

VS3 CAN YOU FEEL US, WE KNOW IT’S WORTH
NATURAL BEAUTY, OUR MOTHER EARTH
WE STAND TOGETHER, TO PROTECT THIS LAND
FOR THE FUTURE, WE’RE HAND IN HAND

CAN YOU HEAR US, WE SING AS ONE
CAN YOU SEE US, WE’RE LOCKING ON
CAN YOU FEEL US, WE KNOW IT’S WORTH
FIGHTING FOR OUR MOTHER EARTH
