[00:00.15]{Anna}
[00:00.31]La la la la la la la la la la
[00:05.67]Ah ah ah ah
[00:08.13]La la la la la

[00:10.11]{Clown MC}
[00:10.27]Meet Anna:
[00:11.08]A woman with outsized dreams
[00:12.53]The mother of the peace
[00:13.58]The downside being
[00:14.83]Someone so convicted in her beliefs
[00:16.49]It can be hard to see
[00:17.82]She was a hero to most
[00:18.76]So -- pardon me
[00:20.41]The world was at war but the country doesn't
[00:22.14]Have to be
[00:23.36]And she could say it masterfully
[00:25.01]She said the

[00:25.61]{Anna}
[00:25.73]The world is at war but this country doesn't have
[00:27.10]To be

[00:28.59]{Clown MC}
[00:28.75]People listened and believed
[00:30.08]{Anna}
[00:30.25]We could be decent
[00:31.29]And generous
[00:32.70]Don't let hate better us
[00:34.95]Show the kids ahead of us
[00:37.57]We can stand as one

[00:40.03]Let our difference
[00:41.48]Bind us
[00:42.61]Don't let hatred blind us
[00:45.15]No matter where you come from
[00:47.74]Hold my hand because

[00:50.85]{Anna & Women}
[00:51.01]We we we
[00:55.16]We can stand as one
[00:58.03]Chant as one
[01:00.65]We we we
[01:05.05]We can stand as one
[01:07.76]Chant as one

[01:10.31]{Clown MC}
[01:10.48]But then it's

[01:10.88]{Men}
[01:10.96]Boom! Look out below
[01:13.58]People in the streets keep your doors closed
[01:15.52]{Clown MC}
[01:15.68]Nothing lasts forever -- or so the saying goes
[01:18.46]Nothing lasts forever -- or so I'm told

[01:20.55]On a rainy night
[01:22.12]Anna walked home alone
[01:23.57]A shortcut from work -- she knew she shouldn't go
[01:25.59]But she was brave and oh so in control
[01:27.89]When the enemy came she didn't even know
[01:30.67]Her mistake --
[01:31.64]The snakes
[01:32.21]Had waited
[01:33.14]For her -- coming home late
[01:34.51]At the end of the day

[01:35.76]{Men}
[01:35.92]Her mistake --
[01:36.65]The snakes
[01:37.21]Had waited
[01:38.38]For her -- coming home late
[01:39.51]At the end of the day

[01:41.21]{Clown MC}
[01:41.37]The enemy that hated us from far away
[01:43.67]Raped the woman that made us feel safe
[01:46.04]{Men}
[01:46.17]The enemies that hated us from far away
[01:48.39]Raped the woman that made the country great

[01:51.21]{Anna}
[01:51.33]La la la la la la la la la la
[01:56.29]Ah ah ah ah
[01:58.79]La la la la la

[02:00.93]{Clown MC}
[02:01.05]Now did she fall?
[02:01.81]Not at all
[02:02.54]Did she let herself grieve?
[02:03.59]Did she curse her beliefs
[02:04.76]While she pounded the streets?

[02:06.01]She had a son named Venice --

[02:07.38]{Anna}
[02:07.54]After the city of peace
[02:08.60]An example to those who did not believe

[02:11.01]{Clown MC}
[02:11.13]And she knew that her son though born of a rape
[02:13.56]Could prove to the world that peace could be made

[02:16.06]{Anna}
[02:16.21]Markos be decent and generous
[02:18.79]Your brother is ahead of us
[02:21.25]A vision of the best of us
[02:23.84]That we can stand as one
[02:26.26]Two worlds collide and fill his soul
[02:28.92]With wisdom we will never know
[02:31.54]Your brother will help your heart grow
[02:33.68]And learn to live as one

[02:36.26]{Clown MC}
[02:36.42]This is the ballad of mismatched brothers
[02:38.40]And their mother sings --

[02:41.71]{Anna}
[02:41.83]Ah ah ah ah
[02:44.49]La la la la la

[02:46.59]{Clown MC}
[02:46.75]And while a war abroad raged on and on
[02:49.21]Anna and the President sang a defiant song
[02:51.63]She called a rally for the future of the nation
[02:54.21]Anna stood and spoke with determination

[02:56.59]{Anna}
[02:56.75]We must steadfast and vigilant
[02:59.13]Stand up for the innocent
[03:01.63]They try to tear us down
[03:03.81]But here and now we stand as one

[03:06.63]To my boys at home
[03:07.92]I love you
[03:09.27]You'll never have to run to
[03:11.48]Another place cause we are safe
[03:14.47]You can be great because

[03:17.09]{Anna & Women}
[03:17.21]We we we
[03:21.55]We can stand as one
[03:24.14]Chant as one
[03:27.08]We we we
[03:31.34]We can stand as one
[03:34.73]Chant as one

[03:36.91]{Clown MC}
[03:37.03]But then it's --

[03:37.43]{Men}
[03:37.67]Boom! Look out below
[03:40.13]People in the streets keep your doors closed

[03:42.19]{Clown MC}
[03:42.31]Nothing lasts forever -- or so the saying goes
[03:44.85]Nothing lasts forever -- or so I'm told

[03:47.14]Anna stood before thousands of people in the
[03:50.01]Square
[03:50.69]Thousands of people and we stared
[03:52.35]Right back at Anna as she sang her song
[03:54.97]Suddenly the quiet before the storm

[03:57.39]{Clown MC & Anna}
[03:57.52]Anna looked up

[03:59.53]{All}
[03:59.69]And the crowd looked up
[04:02.27]There's a cloud of dust
[04:04.81]Coming straight for us

[04:07.55]{Clown MC}
[04:07.71]Terror on the streets on our faces dread
[04:12.40]The children watched on TV as we covered our
[04:14.41]Heads
[04:17.68]Anna stood still as we all fled
[04:22.44]A blink of an eye
[04:24.05]And we all
[04:26.55]Well we all were dead

[04:28.04]{All}
[04:28.20]La la la la la la la la la la
[04:33.36]Ah ah ah ah
[04:35.30]La la la la la

[04:37.97]La la la la la la la la la la
[04:43.54]Ah ah ah ah
[04:45.31]La la la la la

[04:48.37]{Anna}
[04:48.53]La la la la la la la la la la
[04:53.41]Ah ah ah ah
[04:56.39]La la la la la
