In 1916, a secret plan, Divided lands across the sand, Sykes-Picot drew the line, Lebanon's fate was not yet fine. France took control, with power to lead, But Lebanon’s people, they had a need, To be free, to be strong, To rise up and right the wrong. We stand together, side by side, Through all the struggles, we will not hide, Lebanon’s heart, beating so free, We fight for the land, for liberty! In 1926, the constitution was made, But French power, it still stayed, In 1933, they tried to stop, The people's voice, but it couldn’t drop. Unity grew, the people called, Muslims and Christians stood tall, With leaders like Khoury and Solh, They knew their dream would soon evolve. We stand together, side by side, Through all the struggles, we will not hide, Lebanon’s heart, beating so free, We fight for the land, for liberty! In 1943, the plan was clear, A National Pact to bring them near, On November 8, the parliament declared, The French were gone, no more to share. They fought and struggled, side by side, Through riots and strikes, they would not hide, On November 22, they were free, Lebanon’s independence, for all to see. We stand together, side by side, Through all the struggles, we will not hide, Lebanon’s heart, beating so free, We fight for the land, for liberty!

[Verse] In the shadows of the fjord night Whispers of the ancient fight She calls the storm with her might Viking witch eyes so bright [Verse] With her staff she draws the rune Underneath the crescent moon She brews spells in a dark lagoon Viking witch's magic tune [Chorus] Feel the thunder hear her roar Viking witch forever more Through the waves to distant shore She is legend folklore [Verse] Battles fought with sword and spell Stories only brave men tell Her power breaks chains of hell Viking witch casts her spell [Bridge] In the mist her figure seen Cloak of black and eyes so keen She’s the force in twilight sheen Viking witch haunting dream [Chorus] Feel the thunder hear her roar Viking witch forever more Through the waves to distant shore She is legend folklore
In the shadows of a vibrant feast, Dionysus laughed, a joyful beast. Diogenes, with wisdom's glare, Challenged the revelry in the air. "Your laughter's hollow, a fleeting game, While truth and virtue bear no name." Yet Dionysus, with a knowing smile, Said, "Life's a dance, embrace each mile." "Balance, my friend, is the key we seek, In joy and in sorrow, both strong and weak." So they parted ways, with lessons learned, In the heart of life, true wisdom burned.

[Verse] Blue skies hide behind the misty veil Walking down a lonely paper trail Shadows dancing in the dimming light Trying to catch the bits of day so bright [Verse 2] Raindrops tapping out a subtle tune Floating memories of past afternoons Heartache blends with whispers in the breeze Moments slipping like the autumn leaves [Chorus] But there's a sparkle in the midnight rain A touch of gold in all our pain Strum along under the crying skies Hear the laughter in our silent cries [Verse 3] Hear the echoes of a once-sweet song Playing games with shadows all night long In the gloom a glint of hope does gleam Life's a paradox of broken dreams [Bridge] Through the darkness comes a soft Kind glow A gentle friend we did not know With our hearts we chase the night away Humming sunlight to a brand new day [Chorus] But there's a sparkle in the midnight rain A touch of gold in all our pain Strum along under the crying skies Hear the laughter in our silent cries

[Verse] Horse and buggy on the track grind Building barns under the sunshine No screens no distractions in sight We hustle till the candles light the night [Verse 2] Wood and nails we make our own way Simple living every single day Fields of green and skies of blue We grow our food our pay is due [Chorus] Drilling in the fields we plow Living simply here and now Sweat on my brow toil never ends In Amish land it's just how it bends [Verse 3] Milking cows at the break of dawn Wearing hats and beards long and drawn No fancy clothes no shiny brand Just simple prints stitched by hand [Verse 4] Chopping wood gotta keep us warm Through the winter through any storm Families gather candles burn bright Stories are our only light [Chorus] Drilling in the fields we plow Living simply here and now Sweat on my brow toil never ends In Amish land it's just how it bends
