lyrics

Amelia just wants to play
Her friends aren’t coming out today
Daddy told me to stay away
That’s what they say

She heads for home but on the grass
To get round all the broken glass
Mummy said that this would pass
That’s what she said

But Amelia flies out the door
Just to see those marching uniforms

Amelia
They won't ever win if the sun is always shining from your heart
They won't ever win if the sun is always shining from your heart

Amelia how she could climb
But in the park they've nailed a sign
Jewish kids banned at all times
That's what it says

And Daddy had a market stall
They drew a ‘J’ onto the wall
Mummy knows that he won't call
But she won’t say

Amelia's still all aglow
When big red flags come through her road

Amelia
They won't ever win if the sun is always shining from your heart
They won’t ever win if the sun is always shining from your heart
They won’t ever win if the sun is always shining from your heart

A dove's captive song
Brings warmth through the dawn
Amelia sing on
To the free

Amelia sing on
A dove's captive song
Bring warmth through the dawn
To the free

They won’t ever win
