Unfinished Revolution

From the health center porch she looks to the North

Where Nicaragua's enemies hide

Polio crippled and maimed before things were changed

Slowly they're turning the tide

In the twilight she stands, with a rifle in hand

And a memory of what used to be

Now she's part of the unfinished revolution

Feudal landlords they've known seen overthrown

Afghanistan comes into view

Learning to read and to write is part of the fight

But for her it's something that's new

Down all of the years ashamed of her tears

Imprisoned behind a black veil

Now she's part of the unfinished revolution

Soldiers kicked down the door, called her a whore

While he lingered in Castlereagh

Internment tore them apart, brought her to the heart

Of resistance in Belfast today

Her struggle is long, it's hard to be strong

She's determined deep down inside

To be part of the unfinished revolution

She holds the key to the unfinished revolution
