(on her 80th birthday)
How many sirens sing stories of war and pain
You'd think we'd have learned this all before
I've been here 80 years and still, I've got a wish to fill
We have our future to save, you must be bold and brave
You can prove courage here by stepping up to shed a tear
Hold the hand of a stranger and show you care
All we really need to know is underneath the melting snow
Dirt is deaf it knows no names, takes us all in the same
You're fighting for freedom but, there is no cage of love
There are other ways to make a change
You know I'm just like you, I've got my loved ones too
If we can't make friends at least, lay down your arms and make peace
You're fighting for freedom but, there is no cage of love
If you can't make friends at least, lay down your arms and make peace.
