With a dream of freedom

People are dying in front of my eyes
and I am trying to do something once again
The world is being destroyed by war and violence
But I am still looking for my own freedom.

I am not selling you my world,
I will stick with it
I am chasing my dreams and I won’ t stop thinking freely,
I need to live, to face my sky clear again.

I fight for peace every day and every moment
Resisting chaos and looking for escape
I am drowning in the lies that everyone is selling me
I am overwhelmed with guilt and feel like a pawn.

I am not selling you my world,
I will stick with it
I am chasing my dreams and I won’ t stop thinking freely,
I need to live, to face my sky clear again.

The song is a collective work of children from classes C1 and C4 of the 3rd grade of the 7th High School of Corfu.
The music is the result of the students’ collaboration with the music teacher Smaragda Papatsakona, who also arranged the song.
Students performed live:
Rea Vlachopoulou (cello) and Thodoris Greg-Langis (trumpet).
Special thanks to: Orestis Voros for creating the rhythmic accompaniment, the recording studio of ERT in Corfu for hosting and Giorgos Hartzavalos for the sound engineering.
