Hold Europe Close

Lirik

[Verse 1] I see the old stone tremble Under borrowed promises Your streets still know our names When the papers change the faces We built these bridges grain by grain From the North Sea to the south Not for fear, not for blame But for truth inside our mouths [Pre-Chorus] Wake up Europa Écoute-moi, hermana Wir sind noch hier We can choose the morning Wake up Europa Non, ne baisse pas les yeux We are many voices And we are still becoming [Chorus] Save Europe, save Europe Hold the line, hold the line Save Europe, save Europe With a human heart aligned Not walls of smoke Not blood and pride Save Europe, save Europe Let the future stay inside [Verse 2] I want the trains on time again I want the baker at dawn I want the kids to speak three tongues And still feel where they belong I want laws that mean what they say I want rooms where truth can breathe I want neighbors, not a crowd Running scared through every street [Pre-Chorus] Wake up Europa Écoute-moi, hermana Wir sind noch hier We can choose the morning Wake up Europa Non, ne baisse pas les yeux We are many voices And we are still becoming [Chorus] Save Europe, save Europe Hold the line, hold the line Save Europe, save Europe With a human heart aligned Not walls of smoke Not blood and pride Save Europe, save Europe Let the future stay inside [Bridge] No more selling off the home For a short and empty throne No more fear dressed up as law No more leaving love alone Let the door stay open wide Let the roots stay deep and green If we want a living land We must guard what living means [Final Chorus] Save Europe, save Europe Hold the line, hold the line Save Europe, save Europe With a human heart aligned Not walls of smoke Not blood and pride Save Europe, save Europe Let the future stay inside Save Europe, save Europe We are here, we are here Save Europe, save Europe For the ones we hold dear
