(On November 4, 1839, twenty-two Chartist protestors demanding the right to vote were killed when troops defending the Westgate Hotel in Newport, South Wales, opened fire on the crowd)
On the night-streets of Newport in the month of November
We were one in the gathering throng
And we sang as we mustered for our watchword was freedom
And our music sweet liberty's song
Chorus
All over the land
Hold on to the dream
Stand your ground
Stay strong and believe
For the Great People's Charter we had marched and petitioned
But our fine words soon wilted like flowers
So we climbed Mynydd Mawr and we drilled for a rising
And we marched on to claim what is ours
Chorus
But the Westgate was guarded by the guns of the masters
And their muskets laid waste to our men
With our leaders transported they believe we are bested
But the Chartists will rise once again
Chorus 2
All over the World
Hold on to the dream
Stand your ground
Stay strong and believe
