Open The Cages - Svalbard

Just because it was where someone was born

Doesn’t mean that it’s where they belong

Just because it was how someone was born

Doesn’t mean that it’s how they should be

Let anyone change anything

And live however they want to be

Freedom for one, freedom for all

A chance for one, a chance for anyone

A chance to live, to live open and free

Not in the shadows of others hatred

Cast by values so outdated

Not under the threat of violence

Never bullied into silence

Oh how they will try to desolate your spirit

Just as they realise they they cannot break it

Oh how they will try to desolate your spirit

Just as they realise they they cannot break it

What is so threatening about our differences?

What is so threatening about the love in our hearts?

What did they do from the position of privilege

But hijack institutions and sell them back to rich kids?

What did they do from the position of privilege

But maintain oppression and champion ignorance?

What did they do from the position of privilege

But hijack institutions and sell them back to rich kids?

What did they do?

What do we say?

Open the cages

Erase the borders

Smash through the ceiling

No confinement for anything
