Let there be light where there was darkness
Let there be love where there was hate
Even in the terrors of the night
Sooner or later comes the day

Let there be joy where there was sorrow
Let there be hope where there was none
And even as your life-blood flowed away
Neda, your heart is living on

People of the world stand up for freedom
Voices call from a distant shore
For the winds of change are blowing stronger
And evil men will fall
For freedom will not wait anymore

Let there be Spring where there was Winter
Let there be green where there was grey
Even as the lion seems to sleep
Sooner or later he will wake

People of the world stand up for freedom
Voices call from a distant shore
For the winds of change are blowing stronger
And evil men will fall
For freedom will not wait here anymore

Women of the world have died for freedom
Hear them call from a distant shore
For the winds of change are blowing stronger
And evil men must fall
For freedom will not wait here anymore

People of the world stand up for freedom
Voices call from a distant shore
For the winds of change are blowing stronger
And evil men will fall

People of the world have died for freedom
Hear them call from a distant shore
For the winds of change are blowing stronger
And evil men will fall
For freedom will not wait here anymore

People of the world
