You raised up your flag with the Egyptian tide
And took to the streets for your future and your pride
And the cops and the soldiers, some took your side
The rest pulled their triggers
Oh, comrade,
We are listening
To your songs of the streets
We are listening
Through the bullets and the bombs
We can still hear you sing
They can crush the flowers
But they can't stop the Spring
You walked down a path so many walked before
An unexpected martyr in an unwanted war
But it was a moment of pushing, a global open door
And the people of the world moved forward
chorus
You raised up your flag for the world to see
As you stood face to face with the military
But you're suffering and pain, well it hasn't been in vain
Cuz there's a lot more flowers blooming
