Lyrics
SECRETS & THIEVES An eye for an eye soon the whole world will be blind An eye for an eye soon the whole world will be blind the way of truth and love is always won - in time A long forgotten exodus A world that didn’t understand They all thought it would go away No one made a stand By the bully and the liar Driven from their land Compassion washes over you Lights the darkest night Sometimes clouds can block the way Of stars that shine so bright A generation later You still carry on the fight Secrets are like locks For thieves and those who live in fear And nothing you can do Can take away my freedom here You can’t imprison everyone Caged birds still sing to the sun All the ghosts of days gone by walk down these empty halls and broken dreams lie scattered beside these crumbling walls Like footprints in the sand time will erase them all Give the Potala back to Tenzin Remember how they stole Tibet Governments will rise and fall But the truth we won’t forget Revisionist history And failure to express regret End tag: (Freedom-------I can’t stop loving
