DAD
I culdn't take it anymore son
It was tearing me apart
We're lost, we're finished man, we're through
I need to give the kid a future
I need to look him in the eye
Believe me son I'd do the same for you
TONY
But you can't give in now Dad
We've all been out a year
I'll never be able to talk to you again
You'll make us all a scab Dad
You'll humiliate us all
Don't do this to me Dad or to him.
DAD
He could be a star for all we know
We don't know how far he could go
And no one else can give what I can give,
And no one else can give what I can give
He could go and he could shine
not just stay here counting time,
Son we've got he chance to let him live
yes, we've got the chance to let him live
TONY
This isn't about us Dad
It's not about the kid
It's all of us, it's everybody's chance
It's everybody's future
It's everybody's past
It's not about a bairn who wants to dance
It's about our history
It's about our rights
Think about the sacrifice we've made
It's what youalways taught us
since I was a lad
Please, Dad, don't let that passion fade
MINERS
We're all in this together Dad
There is another way
All for one.
Take this and this.
And this and this
And this and this
And this and this.
Don't worry, lad, we'll never let you fall
DAD
He could be a star for all we know
We don't...
TONY
But we'll give all we can give
We'll all give all that we can give
MINERS
We will go and we will shine
We will go and seize the time
We will all have pride in how we live
Yes we'll all have pride in how we live
We will always stand together
Yes we'll all have pride in
Through the dark and through
how we live
and through the storm
We will stand shoulder to shoulder
Yes we'll all have pride in how we live
To keep us warm
