A statue makes a mighty crash
That wakes up half the world
Freedom rings throughout the city
Smiling faces are unfurled
A wounded bird will spread its wings
Prepared to fly again
Brothers and sister all rejoice
Soldiers came to ease their pain
Flags that once were tinder
Used to burn in effigy
Become a symbol of rebirth
In a country that will soon be free
A hero here to do his job
Once hated as the devil
To man
Now is a symbol of freedom
In the brotherhood of man
We hate we hurt we kill in war
But we learn to love in peace
Repression finds a passion
When it's finally released
Visions of a smiling child
Give us hope for the future years
Tomorrow brings a better day
With the shedding of fewer tears
Now a wounded bird can fly
After the scars have healed
And people get to live again
And lies no longer concealed
I see the skies are clearing
As the clouds of war fade away
Free as a bird the eagle
Flies
Side by side
With a mourning dove
And peace brings a better day
On a western breeze
Freedom embraced with love
