Welcome to this land and union 
we all call the European community 
welcome to this world 
the world of open trade and global 
networks for you and me 
and then we raise the walls to 
keep us safe and within 

We are here, we here to make the choice 
of the future we want to live 
they are there, knocking on our doors 
to freedom and to opinions that is free 
but we close the doors to 
keep us safe and within 
and then we raise the walls 

The market wants increase in economy 
and the fishermen claims their share 
the farmer protests for more benefits 
and the drivers strike for a raise 

The industry wants to move to east 
where lower wages is bliss 
the much wants more mentality 
is the ultimate predominant dream 
it's the same old song 

The values we spoke of solidarity 
are now words from a forgotten past 
just mind your own egoistic vanity 
in your soap TV false reality 

Everyone got an opinion to state 
in debates in every media form 
what we really need 
is translate words in to deeds 
we have heard it all before 
still the same old song 

In the 40's we fought the Great War 
young men lost their lives and souls 
for our conviction of a better world 
and to crush the evil hordes 
the dark side was spreading their beliefs 
of hatred and utopian dreams 
dissidents and coloured had no room 
a perfect world for a few 

We put up the flag on the deadly shore 
and we fought 
we fought our way through the blood 
and dirt to be free 

We climbed the Omaha beach 
it was a bloody way we had to reach 
to free the occupied turf 
to give democracy fresh new birth 
when we came back from the war 
we set out some grand new goals 
to unite the euro lands 
and together we all should stand 

We put up the flag on this virgin land 
and we took the first steps 
of freedom on this friendly shore 
no more war, no war 
no war...
