Birds of a feather, they sing together,
Calling the onslaught of pain, strain, and gain,
Humming a tune of what was and would be.
When the lion leaves its wretched hurst,
When the tiger dawns from its sullied den,
The sun—so, so bright—it shines
And the birds fly from their nests and roosts
Towards the sun and the godless heavens,
Their wings beating to the thrum of the bells.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Oh, how they sing and
Sing and sing—endless, fearless, timeless.
A chorus to the harmony of playing carillons,
Yet singular, nonetheless, as they hum,
We are free, We are free, We are free
