Lyrics Open The Cages - Svalbard

Open The Cages

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Cast by values so outdated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
