The Colorful People

At night through the valley,
as the Sun set,
went a colorful people
and a song.
Their song was so strange to me,
and completely unknown,
but their melody
held me in thrall.
 
Through the valley
you saw the minstrels go,
half sage and half fool
revered and spat upon.
And from your world
which seemed big and important to you
You could since then
see the boundaries.
 
Blow with the wind
and feel the freedom again;
follow this song
because evil men
know no songs.
 
Since that night
nothing is as it was anymore
and it has been long
since I saw the homeland.
With songs
I flow now through a world
in which freedom counts
as the highest good.
 
Blow with the wind
and feel the freedom again;
follow this song
because evil men
know no songs.
