Story behind the song
August 2016 marks 25 years of Breed Specific Legislation in the UK. Throughout these years, BSL has caused the deaths of thousands of four legged family members and countless stray dogs-killed for looking a certain way.
The DDA Watch peaceful anti BSL protest is part of a global movement to end BSL and London takes part again this year on 16th July 2016 at Old Palace Yard, Westminster. For further details please visit the DDA Watch facebook page linked below.

Please help to be their voice. 25 years of inherently flawed, failed and cruel legislation must end. Enough is enough.
This song was written especially for the cause to help raise awareness. Please feel free to download and share.
Our thanks to Janice Tyrrell for the amazing cover picture.
Lyrics
'25 Years'
Twenty five years, a sea of tears
When will it end for man's best friend?
Don't know all your names but we fight for your lives
Don't give them the blame when the law tells lies
We will not let them send you down, hold the line!
Your life will matter; we will try, to keep you alive!
We will not give up on this fight, for what's right!
Little hearts keep the faith, little eyes to the light
You were born to be loved, not die!
Oh the years of your pain, one and all have been slain
We will not let you hurt in vain!
We got to remember the dead and fight for the living
One day we will win cos we're not gonna give in!
Gotta be strong for the world, the hell we live in
Gotta be strong; keep moving on, fight for the living!
Fight for the living!
Twenty five years, what have we got?
Counting the dead, goodbye the dogs…
Remember the first, each and every heart
This inglorious past, there must be a last…
We will not let them send you down, hold the line!
Your life will matter; we will try, to keep you alive!
We will not give up on this fight, for what's right!
Little hearts keep the faith, little eyes to the light
You were born to be loved, not die!
Oh the years of your pain, one and all have been slain
We will not let you hurt in vain!
We got to remember the dead and fight for the living
One day we will win cos we're not gonna give in!
Gotta be strong for the world, the hell we live in
Gotta be strong; keep moving on, fight for the living!
Got to remember the dead, fight for the living
One day we will win cos we're not gonna give in!
Gotta be strong for the world, the hell we live in
Gotta be strong; keep moving on, fight for the living!
Fight for the living! Fight for the living!
Yeah fight for the living! Fight for the living!
