Anne



How could you take a dark December night

And somehow find a light to cling to

How could you still believe in dreams

After all the pain you’d seen

They couldn’t kill the fire in you



Anne

Anne

It’s there on every page

Some birds can’t be caged



How did you keep the child in you alive

The laughter in your eyes astounds me

You never surrendered to their hate

Or let your spirit break

When the world came crashing down around you



Anne

Anne

It’s there on every page

Some birds can’t be caged



When your hope runs wild and free

There’s no limit to the sky

Anne, if you could only see

How you’re lifting me tonight



Anne



They tell us your faith never died

Even when you closed your eyes forever

But Anne, it wasn’t all in vain

Your words are like a flame

That burn for every true believer



Anne

Anne

It’s there on every page

Some birds can’t be caged



Oh Anne

Anne

From a room in Amsterdam

You changed the hearts of man
