DIE GEDANKEN SIND FREI /MY THOUGHTS ARE FREE
Edited on Sat Dec-29-07 07:32 PM by no_hypocrisy
(This is a 15th Century German song, which was sung by the Resistance during the Second World War)

Die gedanken sind frei
My thoughts freely flower
Die gedanken sind frei
My thoughts give me power
No scholar can map them
No hunter can trap them
No person can deny
Die gedanken sind frei

I think as I please
And this gives me pleasure
My conscience decrees
This right I must treasure
My thoughts will not cater
To duke or dictator
No man can deny
Die gedanken sind frei

And should tyrants take me
And throw me in prison
My thoughts will burst forth
Like blossoms in season
Foundations will crumble
And structures will tumble
And free men shall cry
"Die gedanken sind frei!"
