[E] We _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _
are free, but there are many nations on this planet who are not looking forward to freedom. _ _
We should _ _ _ think _ _ about those who are suffering under pressure and express our solidarity
precisely because we have experienced [F] how important international solidarity [G] is. _ _ _
_ _ _ We decided to dedicate the last song _ _ to the citizens _ of North Korea, _ Burma, Tibet, _ Belarus, _ _ Iran, _ _ Darfur, _ _ Zimbabwe, _ Cuba, _ [F#] _ [F] Venezuela and other countries
where _ _ people are living under pressure.
_ _ Thank you for coming to [F#m] commemorate the fall of the railway.
