In Response To: I THINK AS I PLEASE! WILL THIS SONG BECOME THE SONG OF A NON VIOLENT RESISTANCE MOVEMENT ONCE AGAIN? (Rayelan)

This was sent by a reader in Europe. Thank you SO much!! I've been looking for an English version for many months now... maybe even years!! Press the play button and follow along with the lyrics below. ===== ===== DIE GEDANKEN SIND FREI Die gedanken sind frei My thoughts freely flower Die gedanken sind frei My thoughts give me power No scholar can map them No hunter can trap them No man can deny Die gedanken sind frei I think as I please And this gives me pleasure My conscience decrees This right I must treasure My thoughts will not cater To duke or dictator No man can deny Die gedanken sind frei Tyrants can take me And throw me in prison My thoughts will burst forth Like blossoms in season Foundations may crumble And structures may tumble But free men shall cry Die gedanken sind frei (The lyrics above are Pete Seeger's) The White Rose Society
