            1.	People in prison
                      for speaking truth to power
                 people stripped of rights
                      too brave to yield and cower
                 people forced to breaking point
                      to speak on pain of death

   Refrain: We honour! Honour! Honour your humanity!
                Your courage making others whole and free.
                Your torturers are thwarted
                your torturers subverted!
