We We're Born to live Born to die But not like this So unexpectedly so We were young We were old We were full Of life We were in Love in love With all They stole our Hearts But not our souls Nor our spirits We will live On For all eternity To see They came by way On magic carpets Riding wayward winds From the middle east With ideology beliefs Concepts not understood They did Handshakes and smiles Creeping like snakes In the grass Bombs between Their legs They tried to break And shake us Killing countless People For what They don't understand Our beliefs our ways Perhaps they just don't Give a damn But you see We have Faith Faith in our Lord Faith in our fellow man So we will continue To strive for this thing We call freedom A passion for survival Of freedom for one Freedom for All..

Powerful words my friend:-) 'they stole our hearts not our souls' - 'So we will continue To strive for this thing We call freedom A passion for survival Of freedom for one Freedom for All'.. I can relate to this so much with my father when his homeland of Lithuania was invaded and he was forced to leave :-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx

My dad's ashes are to be sent to Lithuania - his name is already on the family plot as is my mum's and sisters. He truly will be back 'home'. Dad was able to travel back to Lithuania about 7 times when Independence was regained. Hugs Jan xx

A lot of us have left other countries to to make this our home For different reasons,or to settle in other countries..it's very sad sometimes we can't even go back..we take our blood and souls and try to make it in another country..and make it our own but we will never forget what Our forefathers did and their struggles..thanks again jan
