FOR YOU RAOUL…

There is a man

They won’t let go

He is alive

Yes we know

His name is Raoul

And he’s a hero,

He is alive

So let him go!

President Putin

We want to know

If Wallenberg lives

Then let him go!

Tell us the truth

We must know

If Wallenberg lives

Then let him go!

Now is the time

To turn the key

To open the door

And set him free

Send him home

To his family

Answer the prayers

Of humanity…

40 years in prison

Is far too long

For you Raoul

We sing this song

You saved so many lives

You did no wrong

For you Raoul

We sing this song
