Undefeated

I still remember when we first gathered here
One cold December, in some long forgotten year
Our hearts were on our sleeve
Some said we were naive
The world seemed black and white, and we knew that we were right
It was plain for us to see the common enemy
I still recall the day we marched along
It was one for all - a half a million strong
The city had to stop
We felt we were on top - with so many onboard how could we be ignored?
We demanded to be heard, but they didn't heed a word
And I understand when some people lose heart
But no-one said this would be easy from the start
I understand when some feel let down, betrayed, or even cheated
But just because we've lost some battles doesn't mean we are defeated
I still believe that if we don't just take, but give
Then we can achieve a better world in which to live
Yes, I know that time's moved on, and opportunities have gone
But new ones still arise if we just open our eyes
I'm not ready to give in and let the cynics win
