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
