about

Author's edition - released in December 2012

lyrics

DIGNITY
(c) Ville-Veikko Markkanen

The oceans, the lakes, the banks of the rivers
The highways, the roads and the trails in the fields

Generations, families, children of the dying towns
Here I `m floating and searching for my own


Nothing is easy, this road is so long
You live, take your own and keep the faith

So soon it `s all gone, in a wink of an eye
Keep on pushing, one day you will find yourself


As we laugh as we cry
So we live, so we die

Believe, there is no easy way out

What for you stand, what for you fight
Sing it loud, it keeps you proud
Dignity is all you have

---------------

The freeways, the skyways, so far away from here
In my silence, no voices, no echoes I can hear
The call of the wild, the cold nights under that naked sky

Here in the middle I am searching for my own...

As we laugh as we cry
So we live, so we die

Believe, there is no easy way out

What for you stand, what for you fight
Sing it loud, it keeps you proud
Dignity is all you have...
