[Intro]
We shall not fear when our bird sings
From the garden of Eden, spiritual healing
Blind eyes will turn when your skies burn
Towers will fall down
He wears a broken crown
We shall not fear when our bird sings
From the garden of Eden, spiritual healing
Blind eyes will turn when your skies burn
Towers will fall down
He wears a broken crown
[Chorus]
Someone free the bird of paradise
From the grip of Babylon
Been waiting a long time for your love
You may burn my forest down
But you will never burn me to the ground
Been waiting a long time for your love
[Verse 1]
Self-determination is all anybody wants
Freedom of choice yeah freedom of thought
Media only wants you to see a eschewed truth
Open your eyes and start looking for yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
Big man bully him far too long
The people of the dirt will rise to right the wrongs
[Chorus]
Someone free West Papua
From the grip of Babylon
Been waiting a long time for your love
You may burn my forest down
But you will never burn me to the ground
Been waiting a long time for your love
[Verse 2]
Push a chief to the floor
Your asking for guerilla war
Try chain these mighty tiger claws
Natives you must defeat
For the diamonds under feet
You claim the mountain to the shore
[Pre-Chorus]
Story travels across the sea
Can’t make a change from your computer screen
It has to be see yeah
[Chorus]
Someone free West Papua
From the grip of Babylon
Been waiting a long time for your love
But you will never burn me to the ground
Been waiting a long time
