| We cannot beg for pardon | A |

| Our freedom as free lances | D |
| Advances towards its end | E |

| The sky was good for flying | G |
| Defying the church bells | D |

| Siren and what it tells | D |
| The earth compels | D |
| We are dying Egypt dying | G |
| - | |
| And not expecting pardon | A |
| Hardened in heart anew | I |
| But glad to have sat under | J |
| Thunder and rain with you | I |
| And grateful too | I |
| For sunlight on the garden | A |
