They’ll silence the radio
And the idiot box
And my friends one by one
Soon they’ll turn to the birds
To silence their chirping
And the whistling of the trees
They’ll shut down the ether
And lay siege on the electromagnetic waves
All the channels one by one
The birds and the trees?
Ah yes, they too speak of love
Of freedom
And the voice of man or beast or tree shall never die
The hearts shall sing
Closed mouths shall roar
And the spirits shall sing
The wind shall still carry the voices
Of freedom and love
Al-Farabi
