Song about the Russian invasion of Georgia
Welcome to my soundclick page! Feel free to check out some of my songs.
Story behind the song
I wrote this song about the Russian invasion of Georgia (Republic of) in the summer of 2008. It covers a little history of Georgia since they gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 including the recent Rose Revolution.
Lyrics
Shining Star
When the wall came tumbling down
The mighty grip let go
The time was right to start a new
The first to lead the country met a fatal blow
The KBG came back to take control
Then came one man with a rose
A revolution borne without force
We won?t forget just who you are
Standing like a Shining star
You?ve gained so much and you have come so far
As you fight the one who wants it all
The new way awoke the sleeping giant to the north
And it angered the power hungry men
Taunted by unrelenting lies false promises
An invasion ensued distastefully
Then came one man with a rose
A revolution borne without force
Fueled by unshakeable desire
To rid the country of dishonesty
We won?t forget just who you are
Standing like a Shining star
You?ve gained so much and you have come so far
As you fight the ones who want it all
For months the red amassed
At the doorstep to your home
Their naivety shows right through
Did they think no one would know?
What a travesty
Everyone could see
They detested success of your democracy
As the days went by
Devastation leveled lives
But they failed to totally win control
Then came one man with a rose
A revolution borne without force
Fueled by unshakeable desire
To rid the country of dishonesty
We won?t forget just who you are
Standing like a Shining star
You?ve gained so much and you have come so far
As you fight the one who wants it all
Best original song here IMO!
