The curtain has been raised The wall no longer stands And from Lisadell to Latvia We're singing as one clan
The curtain has been raised And Europe's all one stage And the archipelagic icicles Have melted like the cage
We don't need no party Just a party band A continental choir Singing hand in hand
They might scare the blackbird But they cannot stop him sing They may steal the honey But they'll never steal the sting They may crush the flowers Trample every living thing But they can't stop the spring
They might scare the blackbird But they cannot stop him sing They may steal the honey But they'll never steal the sting They may crush the flowers Trample every living thing But they can't stop the spring
They might scare the blackbird But they cannot stop him sing They may steal the honey But they'll never steal the sting They may crush the flowers Trample every living thing But they can't stop the spring
