A short-term solution,
now that the world is
watching;
the winds of change blowing
throughout this whole region
The insanity of repression,
firing on the mourners;
steeling the people’s
resolve
that they must be free
The tide turning
the despots losing;
the winds of change
blowing on the sand
The insanity of repression
killing their own people;
soon they will be standing
on their own graves
