lyrics

We shall not fear when our bird sings
from the garden of Eden
spiritual
blind eyes will turn when their own skies burn
Someone free the bird of paradise
from the grip of Babylon
been waiting a long time for your love
you may burn my forest down but you will never burn me to the ground
been waiting a long time for your love
Self-determination is all anybody wants
freedom of choice yeah, freedom of thought
Media only wants you to see a filtered truth
Open your eyes and start looking for yourself
big man bully him far too long
The People of the dirt will rise to right the wrongs
someone free West Papua
from the grip of Babylon
been waiting a long time for your love
you can’t cage the bird of paradise
cause he was born wild
been waiting a long time
Push a chief to the floor
Your asking for guerilla war
Try chain these mighty tiger claws
Natives you must defeat
for the diamonds under feet
You claim the mountain to the shore
story travels across the sea
can’t make a change from your computer screen
you have to see
it has to be me
