Lyrics Estonia - Alex Edwards

dear child the world was not always as it is now
our flag our language, our peoples' beaten brow
but you could hear it in the air the change had just begun
when we'd sung
and as we hollered homeland hymns I tried to think these things
but we fell in love in estonia, yeah
from riga through tallinn could never imagine what lay before us, oh
and you know the bad guys came for those who sang too loud
and in the madness wasn't sure who made it out
neither of us knew that we were safe though we felt on that night
our hands a thousand hands apart, for all the world to marvel
and join so we might be able to say
that we fell in love in estonia, yeah
from riga through tallinn could never imagine what lay before us, oh
and whispers led me to vilnius
where we rejoined in arms
and you had just been born
when fate played cruelly on
oh how we fell, in heaven we'll together dwell
but first let me write, to you my boy that everything will be alright
cos all of your fears you needn't here in estonia, oh
and in your time you'll see the plan for peace that had long begun
when we fell in love in estonia, yeah
from riga through tallin could never imagine what lay before us, oh
so read this dear and bury it here in estonia
