He's almost twenty and he's already
_____
But beyond the border there's his home
_____
He thinks that the wire fence is only
_____
Something that can never stop
Like the sun when it rises
_____
Like the bird that escaped from its prison
Like the wind that gathers
_____
And I will know what freedom is at last
_____
With his love as a banner he left
_____
He marched so happy that he didn't hear
The voice that called him
_____
And lying on the ground he stayed
Smiling and without speaking
_____
On his chest crimson flowers
_____
Like the sun when it rises
_____
Like the bird that escaped from its prison
Like the wind that gathers
_____
And I will know what freedom is at last
_____
Like the sun when it rises
_____
Like the bird that escaped from its prison
Like the wind that gathers
_____
And I will know what freedom is at last
