I believe the time is right, I believe we won't go wrong
Words like can't and never they won't be around for long
There's a rediscovered spirit here of a people proud and strong

   Chorus
   We know what we're fighting for
   We believe in what we're fighting for
   We love what we're fighting for
   Newfoundland and Labrador

We have lived through troubled times, for centuries and more
We can see the problems coming miles before they hit the shore
Now when others take and condescend we will wink and nod no more (chorus)

We can list mistakes it's true, this ain't 'once upon a time'
And 'happy ever after' is a long way down the line
But with poisoned tongue and attitude, and a sharp and clever mind (chorus)

We are tired of thinking small, dancing someone else's dance
You and I can make the difference, stop your 'more for me please' rants
'Cause if we don't stand together, then we don't stand a chance (chorus)

Half a million side by side, from the Big Land to the Bay
Join our peaceful revolution, let's make history today
Will the 'haves' who finally conquer, thank the 'have nots' in their graves? (chorus)

If you're near or if you're far, facts can guard your native coast
Tell naïve patronizers the whole truth, they need it most
Just look them in the eye and sing our battle cry, our toast
'Cause it's now or never, we've been pulled apart forever
If we'd only pull together, all for home now, lend a hand (chorus)
