[Spoken OVERHEAD VOICE]
For over seventy years miners of Durham County have come together once a year for their demonstration and gala day. This was the first Durham rally since the pits handed over to the people. This year one of the popular attraction was Mr. Herbert Morrison, who spoke of the link of solidarity between miners and other workers

[Spoken HERBERT MORRISON]
I want you men of the pits to come through. I want these streets clean of nationalization to succeed triumphantly. The whole country is watching to see how this great new organization, this new adventure, this new experiment, comes out. The great experiment of socialism in a democracy depends on you. The whole future we are trying to conduct in our country is for all our people and all our children, and it depends on you

[ENSEMBLE, MINERS]
Through the dark, and
Through the hunger
Through the night and
Through the fear
Through the fight and
Years of hardship
Through the storms and
Through the tears
And although your feet are weary
And although your soul is worn
And although they'll try to break you
And although you'll feel alone
We will always stand together
In the dark, right through the storm
We will stand, shoulder to shoulder
To keep us warm

And the stars look down on the mean and hungry
And the stars look down and show the way
And the stars look down and we'll stand together
To see a day
When the stars look down and know our history
When the stars look down upon our past
And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun
And though our hands are bruised and bleeding
And our lungs are full with dust
And our hearts are near to breaking
We will never forgo the trust
We will fight through pain and hunger
Every arrow, every knife
And we will never give the hope up
Of a proud and honest life
So we will always stand together
Through the frost, the hail, the snow
The stars are our redemption
And so we know

[Spoken MINER}
We're out!

[Spoken ENSEMBLE]
(Cheering)

[SINGLE MINER]
The stars look down when we're abandoned
Look down in the heart of night

[ENSEMBLE]
And the stars look down and give us vision
To see the light
The stars look down upon our struggle
The stars look down and know the past
The stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun

All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
Till we've won
All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
All out till we've won

[Spoken MICHAEL]
Billy, do you know why they're on strike like?

[Spoken BILLY]

Why, what's she done like? (?)

[Spoken MICHAEL]
Fucked if I know
Eh, see ya at boxing?

[Spoken BILLY]
Yeah
[Spoken MICHAEL]
See ya, Billy

[Spoken BILLY]
See ya, Michael

[BILLY]
Take me up and hold me gently
Raise me up and hold me high
Through the nights under darkness
Will come a day when we will fly
And although we've been rejected
And although we've been outcast
We will find a new tomorrow
When we come to rest at last

And we will stand there proudly
And we will never walk alone
And we will be returned
Back to our home

[ENSEMBLE]
And the stars look down at their reflection
And the stare look down and there's a light
When the stars look down they'll see the justice
And the right
And the stars look down and see the struggle
And the stars look down and know the pain
And the stars will lead us back to where light shines again

Where we'll stand as one beneath the sun
One beneath the sun
