Hand in hand we'll take a caravan to the motherland.
G Em Am
One by one we're gonna stand up with pride, one that can't be denied.
D
Stand up, stand up!
G Em Am D
From the highest mountain (and) valley low, we'll join together with hearts of gold.
(tacet) Em (tacet) Em
Now the children of the world can see there's a better place for us to be.
(tacet) C D
The place in which we were born, so neglected and torn apart.
G Em C
Ev'ry woman, ev'ry man join the caravan of love,
Em D
Stand up, stand up, stand up.
G Em C
Ev'rybody take a stand, join the caravan of love,
Em D
Stand up, stand up, stand up.
G Em Am D
I'm your brother, I'm your brother, don't you know?
G Em Am D
She's my sister, she's my sister, don't you know?
We'll be living in a world of peace in the day when ev'ryone is free.
Well, the young and the old, won't you let your love flow from your heart?
Ev'ry woman, ev'ry man join the caravan of love...

| That's Hull for you, dentie! First Housemartins song I heard (not surprising given it was their only no.1), got one of their best of's today and it's fantastic! Shame they were so short lived, but they went on to much greater things! | |

| This song is a cover of an Isley Brothers song but the HM version is better, the video really conveys Paul Heatons Cynicism about organised religion when the image is conveyed the clergy as the KKK with a face. Thought is was brilliant 1 | |
