[Pre-Chorus]
These merchants of paradise
Come say what you will
You sellers of God's creation
No longer free
[Chorus]
These merchants of paradise

They'll talk to the sun
And they'll say, "Where were you?"
They'll turn their face to the sun
They will say, "Where were you? Where were you?"
They'll cry to the sun
"Where were you? Where were you?"
[Outro]
When they go free
When they go free
When they go free
