Black Ribbon Day Lyrics by Zach Sands

Embers

2021

[verse]
Walk out to the road
Where all the others go
If all goes to plan
We’ll find a place in line
It’s almost starting time
It’s time we took a stand
Two million people strong
Four hundred miles long
Of strangers holding hands
[Chorus]
 A revolution on Black Ribbon Day
 A better solution is the Baltic Way
 Peacefully united — have you heard?
 We cannot be divided and conquered
 Or whatever, any longer
 Because together, we are stronger
 On Black Ribbon Day
[verse]
On a workday in August
We’ll see what freedom costs us
And what it truly means
There is a shuttle bus
To get the rest of us
We stand along the street
Waving flags at passing cars
Reminding them of who they are
And what it means to be
[Chorus]
 A revolution on Black Ribbon Day
 A better solution is the Baltic Way
 Peacefully united — have you heard?
 We cannot be divided and conquered
 Or whatever, any longer
 Because together, we are stronger
 On Black Ribbon Day
[verse]
Reagan and Gorbachev
Blowing each other off
From both sides of the Wall
It’s nineteen eighty-nine
This is a changing time
But then again, aren’t they all?
Perestroika and glasnost
Vladimir Lenin’s ghost
Can watch the empire fall
[Chorus]
 A revolution on Black Ribbon Day
 A better solution is the Baltic Way
 Peacefully united — have you heard?
 We cannot be divided and conquered
 Or whatever, any longer
 Because together, we are stronger
 On Black Ribbon Day
[verse]
Declaring independence
Our principles to defend us
We hold onto each other’s hands
Breaking the shackles with a chain
The people have a voice again
All across this land
Vilnius is where it begins
I hear it ends in Tallinn
A message anyone can understand
[Chorus]
 A revolution on Black Ribbon Day
 A better solution is the Baltic Way
 Peacefully united on August twenty-third
 We cannot be divided and conquered
 Or whatever, any longer
 Because together, we are stronger
 On Black Ribbon Day
