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
