sofia town

Amongst many was one
Amongst the rich was the wise
Amongst the guilty was the judge 
Rock solid crystal clear i heard it in my ear
Sofia town the mother of one...




A story once i heard, a tale twice they said
my mama new the song she sang until she sobbed
hoping to built a place were dreams come true
a story i never kept , a tale they never built 
Sofia town the mother of one.....




Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our lives
once i heard the song, twice in our hearts we sobbed
hoping that one day they would built our dreams
Sofia town the mother of one...




Again today we watched the sunset
we knew our dreams will never rise again
i watched the old-women weep, i saw the old man groan
all in tears all in pain we hope to sing the song 
yet we sobbed in sorrows
they promised to built our town in exchange for trust and power
but in their promises they built themselves mansions and palaces on top of our heads
Sophia town the mother of none...
