O\u2019Siem, we are all family
\nO\u2019Siem, we\u2019re all the same
\nO\u2019Siem, the fires of freedom
\nDance in the burning flame<\/p>\n

Siem o siyeya, all people rich and poor
\nSiem o siyeya, those who do and do not know
\nSiem o siyeya, take the hand of one close by
\nSiem o siyeya, of those who know because they try
\nAnd watch the walls come tumbling down<\/p>\n

Siem o siyeya, all people of the world
\nSiem o siyeya, it\u2032s time to make the turn
\nSiem o siyeya, a chance to share your heart
\nSiem o siyeya, to make a brand new start
\nAnd watch the walls come tumbling down<\/p>\n

Fires burn in silence
\nHearts in anger bleed
\nWheel of change is turning
\nFor the ones who truly need
\nTo see the walls come tumbling down<\/p>\n
