Aberfan had no warning didn't stand a chance
How the miners dug that day
Not for coal
For the neighbours' lives they tried to save
The deeper you dig the more pain you find
Easier to lose your mind
Still the light carries on
Harder you look the more you'll go blind
Easier to finally find the light
Of your daughters and sons
Carries on
Children of Aberfan fathers had no power
Worked for the man
Who hid his sins upon the hill
October 1966, the day the earth stood still
The deeper you dig the more pain you find
Easier to lose your mind
Still the light carries on
Harder you look the more you'll go blind
Easier to finally find the light
Of your daughters and sons
Carries on
Now the graves lie side by side
One hundred and sixteen souls standing in the light
Now the graves lie side by side
One hundred and sixteen souls standing in the light
The deeper you dig the more pain you find
Easier to lose your mind
Still the light carries on
Harder you look the more you'll go blind
Easier to finally find the light
Of your daughters and sons,
Daughters and sons

Aberfan had no warning didn't stand a chance
How the miners dug that day
Not for coal
For the neighbours' lives they tried to save
The deeper you dig the more pain you find
Easier to lose your mind
Still the light carries on
Harder you look the more you'll go blind
Easier to finally find the light
Of your daughters and sons
Carries on
Children of Aberfan fathers had no power
Worked for the man
Who hid his sins upon the hill
October 1966, the day the earth stood still
The deeper you dig the more pain you find
Easier to lose your mind
Still the light carries on
Harder you look the more you'll go blind
Easier to finally find the light
Of your daughters and sons
Carries on
Now the graves lie side by side
One hundred and sixteen souls standing in the light
Now the graves lie side by side
One hundred and sixteen souls standing in the light
The deeper you dig the more pain you find
Easier to lose your mind
Still the light carries on
Harder you look the more you'll go blind
Easier to finally find the light
Of your daughters and sons,
Daughters and sons
How the miners dug that day
Not for coal
For the neighbours' lives they tried to save
The deeper you dig the more pain you find
Easier to lose your mind
Still the light carries on
Harder you look the more you'll go blind
Easier to finally find the light
Of your daughters and sons
Carries on
Children of Aberfan fathers had no power
Worked for the man
Who hid his sins upon the hill
October 1966, the day the earth stood still
The deeper you dig the more pain you find
Easier to lose your mind
Still the light carries on
Harder you look the more you'll go blind
Easier to finally find the light
Of your daughters and sons
Carries on
Now the graves lie side by side
One hundred and sixteen souls standing in the light
Now the graves lie side by side
One hundred and sixteen souls standing in the light
The deeper you dig the more pain you find
Easier to lose your mind
Still the light carries on
Harder you look the more you'll go blind
Easier to finally find the light
Of your daughters and sons,
Daughters and sons
