The curtain has been raised    The wall no longer stands    And from Lisadell to Latvia    We're singing as one clan       The curtain has been raised    And Europe's all one stage    And the archipelagic icicles    Have melted like the cage       We don't need no party    Just a party band    A continental choir    Singing hand in hand       They might scare the blackbird    But they cannot stop him sing    They may steal the honey    But they'll never steal the sting    They may crush the flowers    Trample every living thing    But they can't stop the spring       They might scare the blackbird    But they cannot stop him sing    They may steal the honey    But they'll never steal the sting    They may crush the flowers    Trample every living thing    But they can't stop the spring       They might scare the blackbird    But they cannot stop him sing    They may steal the honey    But they'll never steal the sting    They may crush the flowers    Trample every living thing    But they can't stop the spring
