The line, "I really have enjoyed my stay" and "I believe in what you say as the undisputed truth"
have to be viewed with slight sarcasm.

The chorus demonstrates such sarcasm.

Goodbye strange its been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye mary, goodbye jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain

I did try to see their point of view and wish the best for those that are still captive, so I
sarcastically hope they find their paradise.

The brief lines, "Like a slave without a chain" and "I'll never look behind me" fit perfectly.

Today I choose to follow you

Today I choose to give my yes to you

Today I choose to hear your voice and live

Today I choose to follow you

The Song of Angry men from Les Miserables:

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes

Will you join in our crusade
Who will be strong and stand with me
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see

Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes

The Voice (John Farnham):

We have the chance to
turn the pages over
We can write what we wanna write
We gotta make ends meet
before we get much older
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

[Chorus:]
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
(Oh Oh Oh Ohooooh)
(Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohooooh)
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
This time, you know that we
all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing, we can make it better
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

[Chorus:]

We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You Must Love Me - Evita

I heard this song when I was contemplating speaking to my husband about what I had learned about "the truth". It really reflected how I felt at that time.

Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be
We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you

Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we keep all our passions alive,
As we used to do?

[Bridge:]

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away

[Chorus:]

You must love me
You must love me

Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to you now?
Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed
[bridge]
[chorus]

You must love me

Wow...my first time on this new board.

It has to be Grace Slick and..."When the Truth is found to be lies

You know all the joy within you dies"

When I left the Dubs, it was great at first and then I was hit with, "Now what?" This song was my themesong for about a decade:
