about

ABOUT THIS TRACK:

At 2:32 a.m. on September 16, 1979, two families in East Germany took off in a homemade hot air balloon that they built in secret, in an attempt to escape the communist country by crossing the border to West Germany.

lyrics

LYRICS
just a spider moving, floating all around
an unforeseeable wind could knock it to the ground
it is weightless, suspended, changing left to right
like a tiny balloon directionless in flight

all the colors
forming patterns
hold and surround us
blinding floodlights
walls and wires
waiting to find us
flames and fire
lift us higher
stay to protect us
just until we’re safe and sound

we are flying, weightless, high up in the air
while the rest of the world is sleeping without a care
we are tired, exhausted, ready for the end
and whatever is next we’re never coming back again

we’re lookin’ for freedom
no more hiding in the shadows
fear will not define us
we’re gonna find our future now

we are tired
but not beaten
we refuse to
be defeated
we’re lookin’ for
freedom
