If you believe you have an equal share

In the whole wide world and all it bears

An' that your share is no less or more than

Your fellow sisters and brother man

Then take this knowledge and with it insist

Declare yourself - an internationalist!

If you lay no blame at the feet of next door

An' realise this struggle is also yours

An' that without the strength of us altogether

The world as it stands will remain forever

Then take this challenge and make it exist!

Rise up as - an internationalist!



If your eyes see deeper than the colour of skin

Then you must also see we are the same within

An' the rights you expect are the rights of all

Now it's up to you to lead the call

That liberty must come at the top of the list

Stand proud as - an internationalist!



If you see the mistake in having bosses at all

You will also see how they all must fall

For under this system there is no such thing

As the Democracy our leaders would have us sing

No time for lies now as only truth must persist

Rise up now and declare yourself - an internationalist!
