never seen a rock scratching running water

never seen a rope flying up alone
you were a kite in the wind
 freedom above all

cowardice did not changed your nature
nor destroyed your strenght
although locked in a cell
trampled in the dark
your prisoner eyes gave light the world between the bars

now your light shines up there
 for those down here who still believe
in freedom

never seen a rock scratching running water
you were like water
freedom above all

freedom
above all
